Reviews

“Where is the next Poppy Z. Brite? Where is the next American writer of coherent and lucid horror fiction that doesn’t blink and doesn’t let up, even when you sort of wish it would? Where is our next guide to the places that are horrible and wonderful and not for the faint of heart? We may well have found her in Joanna Parypinski. There seems to be no matter too dark, and no dungeon too deep for her discerning narrative eye to plumb. She resorts to no gimmicks, and she uses no tricks. She will capture your attention, and she will <em>earn</em> it. With <em>Pandora</em> she has made a grand entrance. And she is just getting started.”<br />—<a href="http://scottkenemore.wordpress.com/"><font color="#eb0005">Scott Kenemore</font></a>, bestselling author of <em>Zombie, Ohio </em>and <em>Zombie, Illinois </em>
