"[Schaubert's work] is a hoot."

- Publisher's Weekly

"Lancelot Schaubert is an entertaining and intelligent writer with a flair for world-building. His work is full of good surprises."

- Juliet Marillier, Aurelius award winning author of the Blackthorn & Grim and Warrior Bards series

"Schaubert is a powerful fantasist, a multi-layered thinker and a pure craftsperson with words. This is a writer who will make waves, break boundaries and be heard."

- Kaaron Warren, Aurelius + Stoker award-winning author and Guest of Honor at the World Fantasy Convention

"Schaubert's complex stories weave together sly humor, subtle satire, and heightened language to push fantasy into unexpected places: sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes perplexing, but always intriguing."

-LJ Cohen, author of Derelict

"I f***ing love this entire synopsis. I didn't read the book, but the synopsis is b*tchin'."

- Alin, editor of The Dread Machine

"Schaubert's words have an immediacy, a potency, an intimacy that grab the reader by the collar and say, 'Listen, this is important!' Probing the bones and gristle of humanity, Lancelot's subjects challenge, but also offer insights into redemption if only we will stop and pay attention."

- Erika Robuck, national bestselling author of Hemingway's Girl

"Loved BELL HAMMERS because Lancelot wrote about people who don't get written about enough and he did it with humor, compassion, and heart."

- Brian Slatterly, author of Lost Everything and editor of The New Haven Review

"I'm such a fan of Lancelot Schaubert's work. His unique view and his life-wisdom enriches all he does. We're lucky to count him among our contributors."

- Therese Walsh, author of The Moon Sisters and Editorial Director of Writer Unboxed
