The narrative voice in this one was so perfect. I loved it.

Maureen! This works well on its own, but I'm craving a prequel. Well done!

Absolutely dying to hear this one as an audio because the New Yorkness of it is so perfect.

This is fantastic, EJ! Punchy writing, quick and sharp as usual. Really envious of the way you manage to creep out with such lean, tight pieces. Narrative, imagery, and that last line-- perfection! If I wasn't already on board for Beach Reads, I would jump on right fucking now.

Got some summer stuff cooking too— and maybe, just maybe, a little something for you as well. Although it probably won’t match up to this one!

This is really good. I love the character, it really stands out right. The way you have the character narrate it, it feels like someone just popped something real good in your ear during a campfire. Awesome atmosphere and story as always EJ
