“Keep passing open windows.” John Irving
"Wisdom comes with winters." Oscar Wilde
"If Jesus came back and saw what was going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing-up." from Hannah and Her Sisters -Woody Allen
"Occasionally I sense an insane wail deep down in the pit, the echo alone reaching me, striking without warning, a child weeping uninhibitedly, imprisoned forever." Ingmar Bergman
"Red lips are not so red as the stained stones kissed by the English dead." Wilfred Owen
"Great writers create; writers of smaller gifts copy" Somerset Maugham
"Collective Suicide is an amazing collection of extremely high quality speculative fiction and stimulating poetry. Scalise’s work hearkens back to a period when horror fiction followed no commercially defined formula in both style and substance. Her tales are heavily infused with atmosphere; allowing it equal weight as her plotting. Scalise also assumes that we are intelligent readers, letting our imaginations define the terrors she proffers without resorting to depicting extreme acts of violence or the video-ready images born of horror movies. Readers will be hard pressed to find other contemporary horror or fantasy authors who can pen such tales with as much flair and intelligence as Scalise does." -Horror World.
