"Both smartly referential and admirably distinct in voice . . . these are stories of madness told from the inside, and they often read like dreams." -Publishers Weekly

"Evenson's thrillingly unnerving books have won awards for mystery, horror, and literary fiction; this is work that's scary on a deep level."-Reader's Digest

"The fact that Evenson can move from parody to paranoia and humor to horror in the span of three paragraphs is a testament to his ability as a storyteller, one that can make us laugh and shudder, moving with the same kind of erratic schizophrenia as many of his own characters." -Brooklyn Rail

"For those whose imaginations constantly hunger for genuine nourishment, Brian Evenson's Windeye is a feast . . . Windeye delivers a complex and varied collection filled with contrasting flavors.

"A modern master of the weird tale, Brian Evenson is also one of the genres most experimental. Windeye, his latest story collection, does what all good horror aspires to: reflect the tenor and fears of a given period."-Campus Circle, "Scary Stories: Halloween Book List"

"With his latest short fiction collection Windeye, Brian Evenson once again proves himself a master at creating suspenseful, literary horror."-Largehearted Boy, "Favorite Short Story Collections of 2012"
