Advance praise for Nothing is Everything

Simon Strantzas captures the creepiness of small town Ontario; there is something of Seth, of Alice Munro in his work, wonderfully tangled with the likes of Aickman and Jackson. Uncanny as a ventriloquist's doll, but with a real, beating heart.

-Camilla Grudova, author of The Doll's Alphabet

Welcome to Nothing is Everything, the latest collection by Simon Strantzas. Taking the paths less traveled to the human heart and mind, and excavating the strangeness that abides therein, Strantzas is one of the most striking writers working today.
-Angela Slatter, author of the World Fantasy Award-winning The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings

Simon Strantzas is Shirley Jackson-grade eerie, creating stories that are as unsettling as they are elegant.

-Kij Johnson, author of At the Mouth of The River of Bees

The unexpected has arrived, and has brought with it the unknown. Simon Strantzas' stories arrive without warning, to offer those unknown gifts and sidelong glimpses that bring mystery close enough to touch.

-Kathe Koja, author of The Cipher, and Christopher Wild

Simon Strantzas's compelling stories unfold across a liminal landscape of small towns and ordinary situations where encounters with the uncanny are often revelatory. With his latest collection, he further cements his place as a significant voice among a wave of writers who are redefining the boundaries of genre, blending a literary sensibility with a powerful sense of the possibilities for transcendence in the everyday.

-Lynda E. Rucker, author of The Moon Will Look Strange, and You'll Know When You Get There
