"The strength of this collection lies in its imaginative grasp of the wide variety of cultures, landscapes and emotional engagement of the reader as well the sexual."—Tobsha Learner, bestselling author of Picture This
"Whether it's gothic, paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, romance or flat-out comedy, Szereto does it with panache. Stories that titillate and entertain, provoke wild thoughts or sensual dreams, they're all here in Oysters and Pearls. Enjoy!"—Kate Douglas, bestselling author of Spirit Wild and Intimate Relations
"Mitzi Szereto has a quirky and intriguing hold on suburbia, desperation, the loneliness of the human heart and the essential sadness of its yearning, as we seek to express it through sexual contact. It's a dark and poignant place, of course, but laughter is never entirely absent. Which is just as it should be."—Niall Griffiths, author of Wreckage and Sheepshagger
