Sensual, haunting; askew to reality in a way that unsettles. I love these stories. — Carmen Maria Machado
So much is packed into True Ash: love, loss, danger, desire… and the danger of desire itself. The characters in these linked stories are plagued by an “ endless stream of wanting.” The book is by turns sexy and scary as the characters prove again and again they are as capable of destruction as they are of intimacy. They move across semi-magical worlds dominated by rogue technology that seems designed to keep them apart. Each story connects through gorgeous language that evokes everything we most love and fear. — Kelly Magee
True Ash will bring you to the edge, with a side of whiskey, a hand in the bottomless candy dish, and a dead ringer for Taylor Swift. Revel in the lyrical genius of Colen and Guess.— Natasha Moni
