Reviews

""Palisano invites us into the vista of infinite space, teetering on oblivion. While technology welcomes us, something within us always grinds for awakening, and by delving into death, we will find it. A technological allegory for our time."" -- L. E. Daniels, Bram Stoker Award® Nominee and author of Serpent's Wake: A Tale for the Bitten ""Imagine a huge cemetery floating in space and you have Requiem, an intensely creepy horror story that also asks the big questions: Are we wrong about the nature of reality? What does it mean to be human? Warning: Be prepared to feel like someone is walking on your grave."" -- Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor and The Hunger ""Possessing a firm grasp of tradition but with his vision clearly focused on the future, John Palisano is exactly the type of writer horror needs right now: bold, brave, imaginative and unflinching."" -- Bentley Little, Bram Stoker Award® Winner
