"""A quick yet haunting read, this suspenseful collection will hit the right note for fans of horror."" -- ""Booklist"" ""Combine Joe Hill's sense of the macabre with Karen Russell's dark whimsy and you get Stories I Told My Dead Lover by Jo Paquette. These stories lodge in the imagination like splinters and must be examined and returned to, time and again."" -- ""Erin Dionne, acclaimed author of Bad Choices Make Good Stories"" ""Paquette's stories are eerie and enigmatic, at times darkly funny, and always unpredictable. This is a strong collection of unsettling tales."" -- ""Tom Perrotta, bestselling author of Tracy Flick Can't Win and The Leftovers"" ""Paquette was born to write horror. These subtle, varied stories are sometimes creepy, sometimes hilarious, but always unexpected, and the sharp writing took my breath away. I could not stop reading."" -- ""Nancy Werlin, Edgar Award winner and New York Times bestselling novelist"""
