"Justin Lutz's short fiction is full-on toxic shock syndrome: its body horror is as vibrant as an oil spill, its profane paganism pollutes the reader's imagination, its ghosts contaminate spaces rather than merely haunt them. Gone To Seed is his chitinous litmus test to see how far our flesh will go before it explodes, and I didn't survive it. Read at your own skin's peril."

"Horror that feels simultaneously fun and dangerous. Justin Lutz writes intimate fiction you can't help but obsess over. Recommended for creeps and weirdos."

"I'd always hoped a book would hit my pile that would allow me to give the type of blurb I would want for my own work. So it's with a mix of enthusiasm and jealousy I deliver my verdict: 'It made me sick!'"
