Critical acclaim for C.S. Fuqua’s fiction:
"Good horror ... isn't about gore but about the unexpected ... Fuqua is a master of prose ... his writing crisp, filled with details that make a story come to life."
~ Frank Dutkiewicz, Diabolical Plots
C.S. Fuqua’s stories create "... a lasting impression on the reader."
~ Adam Calaway, Sensawunda
Stories like “Rise Up” are “... part ghostly tale, but also a meditation on the power of music."
~ Cliff Bellamy, The Herald Sun
The story “Rise Up” “... reminded me a bit of Manly Wade Wellman's Silver John stories. I can think of no better praise than that."
~ Sam Tomaino, SFRevu
“Fuqua’s, then, is a mind that’s not mired in or bogged down by horror, but one that appreciates the possibilities dark fantasy provides in terms of language and ideas, symbol and emotion.”
~ David Bain, author/editor
“… thought-provoking and interesting …”
~ Suanne Schafer, Editor, Empty Sink Publishing
“… a wonderful job of creating compelling, well-drawn characters …”
Mike Suchcicki, author/editor/digital designer & producer
I am extremely grateful to you for your interest in my work. I enjoyed writing these stories over the years. I hope you enjoy reading them. If you don't, all is not lost. The paperback version functions quite nicely as an economical doorstop.
