THE DREAMING GIRL praised in The Review of Contemporary Fiction

D. Quentin Miller in THE REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY FICTION Fall 2011 (XXX1, no.3):‎

"The hypnotic prose of THE DREAMING GIRL is effortless to read, especially once the reader gets used to the ways the author flouts convention... The story is archetypal, lovely on the surface, and vaguely disturbing on a deeper level. In a word, dreamlike."
Pick it up today from Ellipsis Press, Small Press Distribution, Amazon, or wherever fine books are sold.

Stephen-Paul Martin's CHANGING THE SUBJECT in ABR

"The six long stories in Stephen-Paul Martin's outstanding CHANGING THE SUBJECT subtly challenge the conventions of the short story through seemingly simple prose that, in strange often hilarious digressions, knots in a fascinating, surreal, and masterful collection... CHANGING THE SUBJECT is a brilliant book..."

--Matthew Kirkpatrick, American Book Review

PIECES FOR SMALL ORCHESTRA & Other Fictions by Norman Lock

New from Ellipsis Press author Norman Lock : PIECES FOR SMALL ORCHESTRA & Other Fictions -- out this month from Spuyten Duyvil.

There are moments that remind me of Sax Rohmer or early 20th century science fiction, bits and pieces of language that seem to come out of Jules Verne or Gaston LeRoux. The language itself is quite stylized, replete with a carefully eccentric vocabulary that Lock does very well. He has an impressive ability to create a unique and original world. --Brian Evenson

Pick it up from Spuyten Duyvil.
