"Praise for Les Femmes Grotesques “Dalpe’s horror stories are equal parts intriguing, compelling, and appropriately macabre. Les Femmes Grotesques tidily secures Dalpe her position as an author to watch.” —Monica S. Kuebler, Rue Morgue “Anne Rice for the post-Twilight age.” —Gemma Files, Shirley Jackson and Sunburst Award-winning author of Experimental Film ""Hungry horror fans take note: like a box of poisoned petit fours, Dalpe's collection delights and sickens with every bite."" —Molly Tanzer, author of Creatures of Will and Temper ""The sharp, pointedly-observed, disquieting stories in Les Femmes Grotesques live in our modern in-between spaces. After reading them, they'll take root and tendril within your own in-between spaces. There's nothing you can do about it."" —Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club"
