"John McIlveen never retreats. John’s not afraid, you see. He pulls no punches. He doesn’t turn his back on the horrors that spring from humanity, he forges mirrors and holds them up, forcing us to look." Christopher Golden - NY Times Bestselling author
"A disturbing and thoroughly entertaining creepfest. So much wicked fun." -- By Jonathan Maberry -NY Times Bestseller“
McIlveen paints with a broad palette of colors, and he blends them and highlights them with a master’s touch. Tragedy and comedy, vengeance and salvation, hope and horror, the absurd and the sublime, all skillfully worked into the same pages and presented here for our enjoyment.” – James A. Moore, Author of The Seven Forges series
"Shocking, moving, and always surprising, John McIlveen's Inflictions will delight and terrify the reader in equal measures. A solid collection from a talented writer." – Tim Lebbon, author of Coldbrook
"The writing is so strong, and the stories so expertly crafted, that their unflinching nature is all the more visceral. INFLICTIONS is as fine a collection of horror stories as I've read in the past ten years." -- Rio Youers author of WESTLAKE SOUL.
