From Readers' Favorite reviewers
“The stories intrigue and beguile the reader in the style of Edgar Allan Poe, the master of the morbid and the absurd.”
“The author's writing style is taut and focused, and his stories are powerful, yet bizarrely playful.”
“I'd recommend Twisting Further into Darkness to readers that love the horror genre as this book will most certainly make your skin crawl.”
“This is the first part of an epic tale, and the mythology of the planet, Gaia, and its inhabitants is original and compelling.”
