CLOISTERED

Praise for CLOISTERED

Kellebrew's stories are peak fever dream, thrumming with surrealism and longing, driven by characters who, refusing to settle, explode off the page and out of what restrains them. Fresh and wild and inventive. I was wowed by their psychedelic vibrance then crushed by their wide-winged humanity and hope.

ーKerry Donoghue, author of Mouth

The imagination is a dangerous and beautiful thing and Cloistered explores this powerful intersection perfectly. This collection of flash fiction displays an incredible range of genres, styles, and voices spanning surrealist, dystopian, and fabulist stories to adult fairytales, psychedelic daydreams, and narrative microfiction. Forget what stories used to be. Liz Kellebrew's bold collection dares to show you what stories could be.

ーJackson Bliss, author of Dream Pop Origami and Counterfactual Love Stories & Other Experiments

Liz Kellebrew has a gift of conjuring entire frenzied worlds in a single page, a single image, even a single singular sentence. This breathtaking collection of flash fiction sparks, larks, and veers, gifting readers a universe where the fantastical and the mundane are resurrected comic, harrowing, and wonderfully strange.

ーRoss McMeekin, author of Below the Falls and The Hummingbirds

Like Russell Edson or Barry Yourgrau, Liz Kellebrew astounds with her shockingly sensorial flashes of fiction. These pieces puzzle and delight with dream logic. I got a huge kick out of them.

ーRyan Boudinot, author of Broken Utopia and Blueprints of the Afterlife
