Praise for Beyond the Pale includes:
"Beyond the Pale features a stellar, diverse line-up, brimming with talent and imagination." - New York Times bestseller Jason Hough, author of The Darwin Elevator
"From the hovel of a Middle Eastern hermit, to remote islands of Scotland, to a moss-dripping bayou road of the American South, and into lands uncharted, there is a singular truth: no matter where you go, you're never far from the darkness, the unknown ... the Pale. Beyond the Pale is a rich, diverse collection of tales that will haunt and inspire in equal measure." - New York Times bestseller Rachel Caine, author of The Weather Watchers
"Beyond the edge of fear and dread, shadows tell each other beautiful and frightening stories. Crack open this book and listen to the voices." - New York Times bestseller Richard Kadrey, author of Sandman Slim
"Beyond the Pale is the kind of thing to keep loaded on your reader in case you need a quick fix of fine fantasy by one of the field's finest fantasy writers." - Nebula Award-nominated Greg van Eekhout, author of California Bones
"Light a black candle and crack open this collection of short stories from writers who are more than mere wordsmiths. A thrill runs up my spine as I wonder, could these scribes be messengers from in-between worlds sent here to prepare us for our own crossings? The veil thins and the candle flickers. Fiction? I’m not so sure." - New York Times bestseller Frank Beddor, author of The Looking Glass Wars
