PRAISE FOR WORM FIDDLING NOCTURNE…

“Stories pulsing with imagination and incarnate joy… Lojewski too, as Padgett Powell said of Barry Hannah, has her ear to the oracle hole in the ground.”
–JEFF PARKER, author of Ovenman

“Magic realism meets bildungsroman… In just a few pages, Lojewski creates deeply imaginative and textured worlds. However mundane the plights of her characters—a crush on a boy, a tense mother-daughter relationship—those surreal environments make magic of the moments.”
–KIRKUS REVIEWS

“Channeled through the swampy terrain of fairy tale and folklore, these stories of misfits and runaways will open and break your heart by their searing and unsentimental honesty.”
–JAMES BROCK, author of Nearly Florida

“Delightfully subversive… Often teetering on the boundary between dream and nightmare, this collection is a satisfying and eerie journey into wild realms.”
–FOREWORD REVIEWS
