PRAISE FOR
"Grandbois has a flair for telling stories in refreshingly unique ways...His writing is clear and concise with colorful phrasing and impeccable grammar. His dialogue flows naturally and never seems forced."
--Jass Elliot, Foreword Reviews, Fall 2014
"In this double feature, Grandbois peels back the scrim of the B-movie to reveal the wounded figures lurking behind, figures that cast shadows that seem from one angle monstrous but from another all too human. At once playful and painful--you'll never look at B horror in the same way again."
--Brian Evenson, author of Windeye and Immobility
