Reviews

 

"...an excellent introduction to this writer's work." The Pan Review

 

"One of our best writers of unsettling fiction, R. B. Russell, can be sampled in collections from Swan River Press (Ghosts) and PS Publishing (Leave Your Sleep)". Michael Dirda at The American Scholar, 2012.

 

"This is a stunning novella I’ve just been compelled to read in one sitting." D.F. Lewis

 

"Russell . . . has an engaging writing style. His characters are strange but real and we believe in them however odd and get drawn into their lives and stories. The collection has a Twilight Zone/Tales of the Unexpected feel about it..." Dublin Duchess

 

"Very highly recommended" Oddlyweirdfiction

 

"Read it! It's a pleasure, every sentence, every page." Gerrit Wustmann
