"Adam McOmber could be describing Fantasy Kit as a whole with these lines: "This is my house. The one I've been telling you about...You think: I know that house...But I can assure you you're wrong about that. You've never seen my house."

"Adam McOmber could be describing Fantasy Kit as a whole with these lines: "This is my house. The one I've been telling you about...You think: I know that house...But I can assure you you're wrong about that. You've never seen my house." In reading Fantasy Kit, I felt like a visitor to a strange theme park constructed of smoke and clay, lust and the uncanny, wickedness and tenderness. Here readers are ushered into mazes and caverns, paradises and pleasure gardens; whisked to Neverland, Mars, ancient Rome, and a cornfield in Ohio. Throughout, McOmber writes with singular imagination and delight. These stories bewitch." -Michelle Ross "Adam McOmber's stories are the work of an architect and master illusionist. He constructs fairy tales that twist into labyrinths, labyrinths that open up gloriously into new myths-and always, as if just under the page, is the thump and flow of blood, the pulsing, hidden desire of the human heart." -James Tadd Adcox "Evocative, inventive, disquieting, thrilling, sensual-here, to borrow a phrase, is story in all its occult guises. If, after you read the first story in Jackson's The Lottery , Poe's Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque , or Carter's The Bloody Chamber, you couldn't stop until you'd finished the book, I have good news: You've found your next page turner. The stories in Fantasy Kit may be short, but their effects are potent. Prepare for exquisite pleasures on every page." -Gabriel Blackwell
