| Luciano Marano writes with a punchy crime lilt, but his fiction is pure horror. Gargoyle Safari is his debut collection and feels almost like a throwback to Matheson, King, and Barker—a classical that feels like a warm blanket. Lots of great stories ...more | |

| The characters are made of cardboard, the plot is implausible, and there’s an incredible absence of atmosphere. Things just happen, and they keep happening across 77 short chapters. For what it’s worth, I read the whole damn thing in about five days— ...more | |

"The very first book on my Nook! Oooh, aahh!
Just fantastic! So much fun, and so easy to read! I would have gotten through it in one sitting if I didn't start and 9 PM and have to go to work the next morning. The overlapping novella was the perfect way " Read more of this review » |

"Quite possibly the most fucked up book I've ever read. There's some serious gore, but the real horror is psychological. And there's no escaping it, because it's not something Winter made up."

| Great premise, great art, bad story. Hard to rate this one, but it’s short enough that I can forgive its sins. It veers into territory that I’d deem too “comic booky” for my tastes, but its atmosphere and art style mostly makes up for it. | |
“In some men, it might open a wound, a sad acknowledgment of the state of his marriage, but Ed did not think like that. He lived in the present and was happy to be loved in the present, if not in the past.”

“We, the many, will purge our lands of those that keep us under their thumbs. What community is truly a community when it is built on the backs of others? Which of us farms the fields? Which of us brings blood to these soils? To those that are so resolute in their superiority- we offer an alternative to their station.
