He writes dangerous stories, in something I've described as like a cross between H.P. Lovecraft and James Dickey ... Very much like crack to my brain." —Nic Pizzolatto, creator of HBO's True Detective
“If you think there arent any new Richard Mathesons or Harlan Ellisons out there, you need to read Laird Barron. —Stewart ONan, bestselling author of Wish You Were Here and Last Night at the Lobster
“Relentlessly readable, highly atmospheric, sharply and often arrestingly written—Barrons prose style resembles, by turns, a high-flown Jim Thompson mixed with a pulp Barry Hannah. —Slate
“Ive come to Laird Barron relatively late, but Im adding him to my pantheon of greats (and I dont use that word lightly). —Adam Nevill, author of The Ritual
"The scariest writer on the planet has to be Laird Barron." —Paul Goat Allen, The Barnes & Noble Book Blog
