"A truly remarkable vision...you will not forget...A book that needs to be shelved not only in convenience stores but also in university libraries." - D.F. Lewis "These stories play out like an R-rated Twilight Zone, grittily thrusting life’s toughest questions at readers with unabashed confrontation, and in the strangest of places." - FANGORIA “Absolutely indispensable! A modern master of all things weird, macabre and wonderful.” - The Bedlam Files "A veritable avatar of Ray Bradbury…Very much a creator of strange moods, imaginative settings, fascinating characters, and off-beat concepts. Somehow, he manages to be both subtly emotional and intellectually perceptive at one and the same time. To sum up, he gets everything right. I’m amazed at how mature and confident his writing is. Can’t recommend him highly enough. I’m delighted to say you owe it to yourself to read this book. It’s that good." - Graeme Cameron, Amazing Stories Magazine “The natural ability to effortlessly flow between genres is a rare literary gift and nobody does it better than this enigmatic Canadian…If you intend to broaden your literary horizons, Alexander Zelenyj should be high up your list of priorities.” - Tony Jones, Ginger Nuts of Horror & Horror DNA “A master of his craft… Zelenyj takes contemporary concerns, anxieties, and worldly ills to their absolute edge, and then goes even further...It's like Zelenyj has his finger on the pulse of human nature, which is one reason why his stories reach incredible depths and resonate so long after they're done.” - Oddly Weird Fiction "Mesmerizing storytelling by one of the most gifted authors of literary speculative fiction. It's an excellent collection that deserves to be read by everybody who loves atmospheric and elegant stories that defy easy classification. Alexander Zelenyj's These Long Teeth of the Night is a captivating, harrowing and thought-provoking collection that should be read by everyone who loves literary speculative fiction. Very highly recommended!" - Sami Airola, Rising "Nothing short of incredible… There’s not a dull one in the lot. Here’s another impressive collection from an author not nearly enough people are reading.
