"I have been waiting (im)patiently for this I don't know how long, but I'm so excited to read this insane epistolary epic from one of the best in the game."
—Paula D. Ashe, author of We Are Here to Hurt Each Other

"Thompson ratchets up the tension with a claustrophobic tale that's as dark as it is emotionally affecting. Not for the squeamish at heart, this one is sure to leave a lasting and devastating impression."
—Gwendolyn Kiste, author of Reluctant Immortals, on Farmington Correctional

"It's unsettling and squirm-inducing, but it's fantastic. It's wonderful."
—Staring into the Abyss podcast, on Astrum

"Equal parts noir and cosmic horror, tension builds page by page until the dreaded and inevitable explosion of violence. Sean Malia Thompson has given us a beautifully terrible blood-sacrifice of a novella that leaves the reader wanting to go even deeper into those hungry shadows beneath the Whispering Pines."
—Patrick Shawn Bagley, author of Bitter Water Blues, on Farmington Correctional
