Editorial Reviews
“If a successful story needs to be multi-faceted and able to adapt its 'spike,' then an anthology certainly must be the same. In this regard, Hard Ticket is certainly successful.”
The Literary Review of Canada
“This collection of 17 short stories is an assemblage of introductory punch, narrative compaction, clear-cut and assured characters, and affective and even haunting ambiance. … There are so many strong pieces here, soundly structured and with their own voices and twists.”
