Every time I’ve read a Redgunk story recently, I’ve come away thinking the most recent was better than what I had seen before. I’m coming to realize that it’s not a question of better; each one has been good on its own. . . .Bill Eakin is a brilliant storyteller." —Kim Mohan, Amazing Stories "Redgunk is simultaneously a place of prosaic horror and impossible beauty...author William R. Eakin provides readers with plenty of swamp gas and a piercing view into the human soul." - A. M. Dellamonica, Science Fiction Weekly
