"A revelatory joy to read and especially . the various ways in which the author combined numerous fantasy elements and dark humour with an exploration of complex family relationships. In a psychologically convincing way, and with well-depicted characters, she demonstrated how, following a death, secrets will often emerge which enable survivors to make better sense of their history." - NB Magazine, Linda Hepworth (5 stars) "A multi-layered situation boils together generational family struggles, hoarding, and a robot in a way that's compelling, interesting, and totally fun. Quick pacing. Good dialogue. An unexpected ending that's satisfying and final." - Unnerving Magazine, Eddie Generous "Casually audacious, this novella eases into deep strangeness so persuasively because it's so rooted in the real--here the edgy bond of mothers and daughters and their power over each other.
The writing gently but completely and irresistibly pulls you in . before it shocks you." - Roy Freirich, author of Deprivation and Winged Creatures "Cat Rambo's Carpe Glitter is a delightful mix of vintage horror and contemporary dysfunctional family issues. Think Shirley Jackson meets American Horror Story, and enjoy the spooky ride like I did." - Seb Doubinsky, author of The City States-Cycle series "Cat's attention to detail pulls you so convincingly into Persephone's world that you can practically smell the dust and feel the grit wafting off the pages . it lured me in gently, then the rails fell off and everything went bonkers, and I couldn't stop turning the pages. Imaginative and captivating!" - Kyle Richardson, author of Beast Heart and co-editor of Behind the Mask "This suspenseful little novelette is tiny and fleeting (like glitter!) - perfect if you need a break or a night to escape. It's about a search through Grandmother's mystical items, a complex family dynamic, dark finds, and a symbolic question.
It's sensory, interesting, and delightfully weird." - E.D.E. Belle, author of The Banished Craft "With beautiful writing, a twisty plot, and a fantastic main character, what's not to love about Carpe Glitter? Highly recommended and definitely in the running for my favorite read of the year." - Jessica Belmont's Blog "The plot kept me cheering for Persephone and adknowledging the fact that her grandmother was really something." - Michelle Meng's Book Blog "The perfect pre-Halloween read." - Crystal's Library "If you like outside the box mysteries with a touch of magic this book is for you.
