"Hungry horror fans take note: like a box of poisoned petit fours, Dalpe's collection delights and sickens with every bite."

-Molly Tanzer, author of Creatures of Will and Temper

 
"The sharp, pointedly-observed, disquieting stories in Les Femmes Grotesques live in our modern in-between spaces. After reading them, they'll take root and tendril within your own in-between spaces. There's nothing you can do about it."

-Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club
