Praise for Eric LaRocca:Wretch takes Isherwood's A Single Man and sends it down the raw, thrilling path of body horror, combining a classy read with shudders galore.-Chuck Palahniuk, bestselling author of Fight ClubUnnerving, baroque, and deliciously grotesque, Wretch is a journey to the dark heart of grief you won't soon forget.-M. L. Rio, bestselling author of If We Were VillainsIn a few short years Eric LaRocca has already established himself at the vanguard of horror and transgressive fiction.-Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror MovieThis is small town hell on steroids: Burnt Sparrow is somewhere around the corner that you never want to even pass by. The beautiful writing of Eric Larocca makes this tale of grief, violence and perversion (a lot of it) a very strangely beautiful journey into darkness.-Mariana Enriquez, author of Our Share of Night and A Sunny Place for Shady PeopleLaRocca is a maestro of the horrific, surreal, and uncanny, and his work never fails to illuminate the dark epicenter of the human condition while offering the suggestion of hope-maybe. Every tale is one that will leave you shaking and breathless, yet like a car wreck, you're helpless to look away.-Ronald Malfi, author of Senseless and Come With MeUnapologetically horrific, We Turn Gruesome at Night pulls readers deeper into the dark and disturbed town of Burnt Sparrow. This novel dares to show us how deeply wrong a place can be, and how it can transform the human beings trapped there into something monstrous. Deviant, unflinching and beautifully poetic, the Burnt Sparrow Trilogy is proving to be LaRocca's masterwork.-Jennifer McMahon, New York Times bestselling author of The Winter People and Stay Buried
