Her work has a velocity and a trajectroy that is little less than dazzling and a tough, enveloping, exhilarating voice than cannot be equaled. * Joy Williams, New York Times * A consistently arresting, frequently stunning collection...Even more impressive than Russell's critically acclaimed novel. * Kirkus Reviews * Karen Russells third book, the story collection Vampires in the Lemon Grove, should cement her reputation as one of the most remarkable fantasists writing today -- Elizabeth Hand * Washington Post * Russell can take Antarctic tailgaters, an army of seagulls or simply a window and twist a tale that explodes on the page and lingers in the mind -- Fiona Wilson * The Times * A touch of paradoxically grounding pixie humour. This way of writing is so clever that nothing needs to be added to the set-up These stories have unbelievable strength -- M John Harrison * Guardian *
