“STARR CREEK is a phenomenal weird fiction debut. Laird Barron meets Jack Ketchum in David Lynch’s TWIN PEAKS. I loved it!” – Brian Keene, best-selling author of THE COMPLEX and THE RISING
“Carson is a fresh new voice in Lovecraft country, and his prose dazzles.” – Wendy Wagner, author of STARSPAWN and SKINWALKERS
Vice/Motherboard “…a fittingly and gleefully weird macabre piece of fiction… the perfect blast of backwater Lovecraftian lore for our Trumptastic moment.”
Willamette Week “…a trippy, Lovecraftian “weird fiction” novella…”
Portland Monthly -“a nostalgic jaunt into 1980s rural Oregon featuring heavy metal teens, Christian biker gangs, and, naturally, aliens.”
Recommended by the Portland Mercury – “…a strange and vivid sci-fi story set in the rural Oregon wilderness.”
The Oregonian “…a fever dream of the ’80s set in rural Oregon that ricochets among bikers, acid-tripping teens, a pair of backwoods siblings named Puppy and Kitty, and a mysterious entity that is clearly not of this world.”
