"Robert Steiner … has written an astonishing work … in a style dark and gorgeous. (He) is a master of the sensual."

- Los Angeles Times

"Steiner is a rare sort of writer … a kind of poet among novelists, intensely lyrical, highly intelligent, a shrewd and elegant craftsman."

- Robert Coover

"Steiner's prose is taut, his imagery … shocking and original. He makes the world tilt, provided a new way of seeing."

- North American Review

"Dramatic events are subtly intertwined with the quotidian, giving them a spellbinding power. The novel (Dread) is … consistently absorbing."

- New York Times Book Review
