Laura Sims is the author of the critically acclaimed novel, Looker. An award-winning poet, Sims has published four poetry collections; her essays and poems have appeared in The New Republic, Boston Review, Conjunctions, Electric Lit, Gulf Coast, and more. She and her family live in New Jersey, where she works part-time as a reference librarian and hosts the library's lecture series.
Sims plumbs the depths of obsession and madness... deftly building the tension until the explosive ending * The Washington Post * Unnerving... How Can I Help You reads like a homage to [Shirley] Jackson's work - and, in its portrait of Patricia, to Jackson herself. Sims's great achievement is to present the two main characters almost as sides of the same coin, colluding in a psychological cat-and-mouse game that only one can win * New York Times * A gripping and dark psychological thriller about two librarians that takes place in a library. Delicious... I read it one sitting -- Harlan Coben A fun and entertaining cat-and-mouse novel... a perfect book for when you just want to sit back, relax, and read about women behaving badly... you'll fly through the pages * Glamour * If you've ever wanted a book that riffs with literary inventiveness... then this suspenseful novel with an ending worthy of a horror story is definitely the read for you * Criminal Element *
