“With Orpheus and the Pearl, Kim Paffenroth has stepped up to the plate left vacant by the late Ray Russell and hit one out of the park. Every element one expects to find in a traditional ‘gothic’ tale is present, but shown from a parallax view, keeping the reader guessing and anxious all the way to its surprisingly moving finale.”–Gary A. Braunbeck, Bram Stoker Award Winning author of Coffin County and Mr. Hands.

“Kim Paffenroth is a breath of fresh air in modern horror. Orpheus and the Pearl is truly chilling, and I thank [Paffenroth] for reclaiming the great Gothic tradition. There are no cheap scares here, no blood and guts spilled for gore’s sake. This is terror at its best. Like Jean Rhys’ landmark novel Wide Sargasso Sea, Paffenroth’s tale reaches into the dark places to show us just how high of a price we have to pay to rescue the madwoman in the attic.”–Joe McKinney, author of Dead City
