Blurbs for Carrie Richerson's Fiction

Connie Willis, author of Passage, Doomsday Book, and Lincoln's Dreams:

"I knew Carrie Richerson was fun, smart, interesting, and had a real sense of adventure, but I didn’t know she could get all that on the page till I read her new short story collection. Something Rich and Strange is just that — adventurous, intelligent, compelling, and pure Carrie."
Nicola Griffith, author of Slow River, The Blue Place, and co-editor of the Bending the Landscape anthologies:

"Texas magic realism: beautiful, fiercely moral work."
Bradley Denton, author of Lunatics, Blackburn, and Buddy Holly is Alive and Well on Ganymede:

"Every story in Something Rich and Strange charges the tiger with a knife of sharpened bone, and every story strikes deep and true. To the heart."
Elizabeth Moon, author of The Speed of Dark, Remnant Population, and the Heris Serrano Legacy novels:

"Something Rich and Strange is exactly the right title for a collection by one of the most haunting short-fiction writers now working. Carrie Richerson crafts exquisite, haunting, and deeply thoughtful stories from the detritus of everyday experience, spiced with outrageous and daring flashes of intuition. Intellectual and emotional honesty, combined with a poet’s sensitivity to language and a psychologist’s insight into character. But they’re beyond analysis: Richerson's stories simply explode in the reader’s mind.
Pam Keesey, author of Vamps: An Illustrated History of the Femme Fatale, and editor of Daughters of Darkness and Women Who Run with the Werewolves:

"Elegant, surreal, sublime — these words only begin to describe the magic of Carrie Richerson’s fiction. In Something Rich and Strange, reality is undeniably strange, and Richerson’s prose is rich indeed."
