Praise for the Stories in Exit Strategy & Others
"'Blood Alone' Rated: Five Stars! This author is a master when it comes to writing a story soaked in dark nuances. For those who are following the Wendy vs Wither's Curse battles, I suggest you do not miss this episode. I would even say that this one is vital. Outstanding!"
—Huntress Reviews
"'All Heaven in a Rage' by John Passarella... packs science-gone-wrong, interoffice politics, romance, redemption and a wonderful ending into just a few pages."
—Inscriptions Magazine
"[In 'Twilight Crossing'] plots and counterplots of the fae courts are revealed... A nice adventure unfolds from there with surprises all along the way."
—The Fix
"[In 'Undead Air'] guffaw out loud as two radio DJs use their monster-movie know-how against zombies... a tale as perfectly calibrated and deadpan as a textual comic book."
—Tangent Online review
"Stephen King tells us that writing is telepathy, and I was there in... the gonzo zombie attitude of [John] Passarella's 'Undead Air.'"
—Nancy Holder, Co-editor (with Nancy Kilpatrick), OUTSIDERS, and author of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: QUEEN OF THE SLAYERS
