From JoAnne Tompkins, the bestselling author of What Comes After:
​​​​​
​"Gorgeously written, wondrous and harrowing, Jalyn Renae Fiske’s SIDE QUEST: STORIES is filled with characters isolated from their true selves. Whether a creature who kills and drinks the blood of martyrs or a child grappling with the crimes of her father, the protagonists of these stories long to break free of the trap of their lives and distorted beliefs and identities. Dark, raw and radiant."
From the editors of The Sockdolager:​​​​​
​​​​"Deliciously creepy."
From G.G. Silverman, finalist for the Dzanc Short Story Collection Prize:​​​​​
​​​
"A strong new addition to the world of fantastical fiction, Fiske’s SIDE QUEST: STORIES is deeply steeped in magic and heart. A lyrical, enchanting voice that’s equal parts humorous and haunting, Fiske reminds us what it is to be truly human, and how to be true to our own quests."
