Advance praise for "Nothing is Everything""Simon Strantzas captures
the creepiness of small town Ontario; there is something of Seth,
of Alice Munro in his work, wonderfully tangled with the likes of
Aickman and Jackson. Uncanny as a ventriloquist's doll, but with a
real, beating heart."-Camilla Grudova, author of The Doll's
Alphabet"Welcome to Nothing is Everything, the latest collection by
Simon Strantzas. Taking the paths less traveled to the human heart
and mind, and excavating the strangeness that abides therein,
Strantzas is one of the most striking writers working today."
-Angela Slatter, author of the World Fantasy Award-winning The
Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings"Simon Strantzas is Shirley
Jackson-grade eerie, creating stories that are as unsettling as
they are elegant."-Kij Johnson, author of At the Mouth of The River
of Bees"The unexpected has arrived, and has brought with it the
unknown. Simon Strantzas' stories arrive without warning, to offer
those unknown gifts and sidelong glimpses that bring mystery close
enough to touch."-Kathe Koja, author of The Cipher, and Christopher
Wild"Simon Strantzas's compelling stories unfold across a liminal
landscape of small towns and ordinary situations where encounters
with the uncanny are often revelatory. With his latest collection,
he further cements his place as a significant voice among a wave of
writers who are redefining the boundaries of genre, blending a
literary sensibility with a powerful sense of the possibilities for
transcendence in the everyday."-Lynda E. Rucker, author of The Moon
Will Look Strange, and You'll Know When You Get There
