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 ventriloquists doll, but with a real, beating heart.
-Camilla Grudova, author of The Dolls 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
