Author Description

Reading Planked by the Abyss is not only like reading something completely different, but like reading for the first time. Each of Tuite's sentences feel like a poem. Put together into a story, they feel like an experience. Put together all the stories and it's like I have a new perspective I could never have foreseen, a new understanding of what fiction can do. - Michael Czyzniejewski, author of The Amnesiac in the Maze: Stories No one writes sentences like Meg Tuite, who has a voice so unique it's a literary fingerprint. These stories are alive and unpredictable, beautiful and dangerous like a forest of angels' trumpets. With unmistakable style, Tuite captives in sentences so oddly poetic, so deeply surreal, they are sentient beings blooming with bizarro brilliance and the bewitchingly, timely wisdom of uncanny reality. - Aimee Parkison-author of Suburban Death Project
