Review from Obsidian Bookshelf

The book received a great review from a site called Obsidian Bookshelf.  Here is an excerpt:

Sea, Swallow Me is a striking collection of short stories that crackle like flames on the border between fantasy and horror. It offers a perspective we don’t often get in speculative fiction: that of the gay, southern, African American male.  For that alone and the poetic writing, Sea, Swallow Me is worth reading.
