“A remarkable debut collection of short stories, that inspired a beautifully rendered partnership between visual and verbal storytelling – from 1 writer and 8 designers. Stark and funny, provocative and tender, the stories tell of characters who propel themselves into situations where everything changes. Some are spare, some spontaneous; together, they round out a fictional world that is as ambitious as it is original.”

“Ludwick’s debut brings both graphic art and emotional, articulate writing into a volume of short stories that is simultaneously inspirational and heart-wrenching… eloquent writing permeates the book. Ludwick is a writer who gives his heart and holds nothing back.” – Chris Kelly, The Pulse Alt Weekly
