"An intriguing mosaic. OLYOKE comes steeped in the dark strangeness and wry dread of a classic Vertigo comic. Endwell blends the scope of weird histories with the scurrying of small human lives, caught like insects in time's ever-clinging trap."

• Hailey Piper, author, A Light Most Hateful

"Vincent Endwell's OLYOKE lures you into the crevice between Weird fiction and Appalachian horror, where something inscrutable yet warm has been gestating. You will come back different-burned in a great fire, perhaps serenaded by a Dolly Parton impersonator-but you never have to think of your old self again. If that isn't a resin-I mean reason, oh God, the book has infected me, too!-to recommend this unique melting pot of horrors, I don't know what is."

• Michael Wehunt, author, The October Film Haunt

"The kind of absurdist, glacial frogs-in-a-pot apocalypse that simultaneously feels entirely of this moment and completely off the rails. A bizarre mélange of deep-fried down-home southern gothic and mind-melting cosmic horror that will keep you flipping pages til the horrifying end."
