&quot;A born short story writer.&quot; - Kelly Link<br /><div>&quot;<span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;">As I was reading and much enjoying Sean Manseau's collection of short stories, it came to me: Ambrose Bierce, who disappeared at the end of 1913, may be alive and well and writing as Manseau. The stories have an appealing late 19th-century, early 20th-century flavor, even as they are sprinkled with orange Cheetos dust, Mountain Dew, cerveza, Blackberrys, Macs, and all manner of 21st century accoutrements including television shows. A collection of short stories is not an easy thing, but Manseau manages to captivate, surprise, and delight throughout, demonstrating a major, refreshing talent.&quot; - Paul Levinson</span></div>
