Bram Stoker Preliminary Ballot for Best Collection of 2011

Story Wee Sweet Girlies received an Honorable Mention in THE YEAR'S BEST HORROR 2011 (ed., Ellen Datlow)

"An extravagant gift for those of us open to fiction that leaves 'formula' several highway service plazas behind...devastating genius...and oh, that story, Debutante Ball - in a perfect literary landscape it would now be as well-remembered as Shirley Jackson's The Lottery."
-- Adam-Troy Castro, SCI FI, official magazine of the SYFY TV channel

"Riveting stories with mind-bending ideas - intensely creative!"
--Catherine Asaro, Nebula-Award winning author of The Ruby Dice

"Everything you want in horror fiction."
--Scott Edelman, Five-time Nominee for the Bram Stoker Award, Editor of Syfy's Blastr

"Lois Gresh makes me scared of things I've never been scared of before. In person, Lois seems so nice and ordinary...but in her writing, she's *evil*."
--James Alan Gardner, Winner of the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial award

"Lois Gresh is a terrific writer and this collection is a terrific book for anyone who wants to read the best in science fiction, dark fantasy, dark humor, and horror."
--Robert Weinberg, Winner of Lifetime Achievement Award, HWA

"Intensely memorable stories...shocking, funny, disturbing. A uniquely gifted writer whose work I have admired for many years."
--Charles Platt, former editor at Avon books & senior writer at Wired

"If you're hoping for surprisingly quirky takes on reality combined with cleverly worded fiction, you're in the right place. One of the cleverest writers out there."
--Nancy Kilpatrick, editor of Evolve: Vampire Stories of the New Undead

The Unauthorized Guide to the Series
(St. Martin's Press, Nov 2011)

"...belongs in any collector's or fanatic's library."
--TEEN INK, EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD: The Hunger Games Companion, an interview with Lois Gresh

"What is just as exciting (well, almost) as the Hunger Games? THE HUNGER GAMES COMPANION, of course! The reader will be taken through details that makes The Hunger Games the exciting, fast-paced, nerve-wracking series fans around the world obsess over."
--Krystal Larson, Fresh Fiction

A terrifying blend of vampire horror, weird science fiction, and lust!
