“A collection of intimate wounds sutured with strange delights, Cuthbert deals in haunting contradictions. Rarely have I been so grateful for heartache. A smile that cracks through a sob.”

-Jamie Flanagan, Bram Stoker Award-winning writer and actor

“There's no doubt in my mind that Cuthbert is slugging it out with the modern greats. Few short story collections have thrilled and immersed me as completely as Six O'Clock House & Other Strange Tales. Usually, the thought of diving into another story right after finishing one feels daunting, but here, you can trust that the next will be just as excellent—if not better. Cuthbert masterfully channels the unique essence of each character, so whether you're reading about a naive waitress, a sex-crazed teenage boy, a city man thrust into country life, or a woman advocating for herself in an abusive situation, you're bound to fall in love. This collection isn’t just a keeper—it’s top-shelf material.”

-Christopher O'Halloran, author of Pushing Daisy

“Welcome to a fantastic house of mirrors like no other. These characters are worn out and weary but still charged by the magic that lurks just beneath the surface of their lives. This is a dark magic. And Cuthbert serves it to us with both grit and grace.”

-Sarah Gerkensmeyer, author of What You Are Now Enjoying

"Cuthbert skillfully takes ordinary characters and settings and adds touches of fears and fable, to create strange tales that are the perfect mix of eerie and unnerving. Oozing with unease and tension, this is a collection that is sure to get under your skin."

-Lyndsey Croal, author of Limelight and Other Stories
