Review
The book's strengths actually lie in its varied nature. Each story is unique in the kind of story it tells as well as the style with which it is executed. Where one story is chilling, another might be celebratory. Where one functions as fable, another runs toward parable. The author shows range and invention and with one exception the collection is an easy and fun read, by turns thrilling and sweet and tragic. --Seth Hahne (goodreads.com)
Overall, Talking to Strangers is a book of creative promise. I'm sure it says something about the interconnected importance of story and art that the two best narratives, 'Static' and 'Flowers', have the top art. With both elements working together, the two stories stand out. When the art does not support the writing, the elements are left slightly askew, disjointed, leaving four shorts that offer glimmers of wit and humanity. With all that said, for fans of dark fantasy, I suspect that Talking to Strangers will have something to please you. --Michael C. Lorah (newsarama.com)
Talking to Strangers is an impressive read. It's a good variety of stories that are very well told and supported by great art. With the possible exception of 'Hero' nothing herein is depressing. The stories are frightening, sad, and speak to our core beliefs and fears, but they also carry a message of struggling to live and realizing how precious life is (and how horrible some, including ourselves, can make it). It's true such stories may not be for everyone, but I can highly recommend it as a powerful read you won't soon forget. --Sheena McNeil (sequentialtart.com)
