Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“With beautiful imagery and a seamless voice, Masih and Claffey move us through decades as two parallel lives seek solace and healthy human connection.” —Mel Bosworth, author of Freight
“Stela and Brandy are living in a pre-COVID-19 world, but through their stories, we know that our feelings of alienation are within the scope of the human experience, and in them can be found great beauty. The Bitter Kind functions as a lightning rod for catharsis.” —Bookend Reviews
“Touching in its examination of broken things and masterful in its prose.” —Kimberly Lojewski, author of Worm Fiddling Nocturne in the Key of a Broken Heart
“A story, human and soulful, of place, mysticism, and the hard-won ground we all struggle toward.” —Robert Scotellaro, author of Nothing Is Ever One Thing
“The Bitter Kind is an alchemy, a duet, a gorgeous melding of two of our most treasured literary voices.” —Kathy Fish, author of Wild Life
“The supernatural is ingrained in the realism of the landscape, and Masih and Claffey somehow make the ghosts feel as natural as the Montana mountains or the Alabama waterways.” —SmokeLong Quarterly
