Praise for Amy DeBellis
“From the first short story I read, Amy's work has always reminded me of Palahniuk spun in the female experience. And talk about range: from macabre humor, to unsettling catharsis, to hopeful realism, to sci-fi and horror and contemporary litfic, she does it all. And she does it with a fraction of the energy the rest of us have.”
— Katlyn Wolff
“Amy DeBellis writes with ferocious conviction for truth. [Her] dedication to craft has enabled her to expertly construct rich worlds of her own making, ones that feel as authentic and troubled as the one we live in today.”
— Nicholas Claro, author of This is Where You Are: Stories
“DeBellis perfectly captures the nihilism and loneliness affecting so many women through her protagonists. The prose is utterly sublime and will have your jaw routinely hitting the floor.”
— Samantha Crewson, author of Every Sweet Thing Is Bitter
“Amy DeBellis’s writing is sharp, smart, and honestly beautiful—it makes you stop and reread lines just to soak them in. For a debut, this feels unbelievably polished.”
— Crystal L (Goodreads)
“The frantic pursuit of bionic memory and immortality, DeBellis shows us, will not elevate humanity. Only art, electric and ephemeral—only nature, imperiled and persistent—only life, grievously and marvelously short—can do that.”
— M. C. Benner Dixon, author of The Height of Land
