“Dayle A. Dermatis’s ‘If the Shoe Fits’ is a funny (and rather ingenious) semi-modern twist on Cinderella, in which we find out why that shoe was really so important to everyone.”

“I was particularly struck by the little gem, ‘Sultan’s Sons’ by Dayle A Dermatis. This was, in my opinion, the…strongest story in the entire collection.”
– www.horrorreader.com“You want something new and something fresh and I think I got that when I accepted [a story] from…Dayle Dermatis. I’d like to think that someday these…writers will be at the forefront of the new age in Fantasy and I can say that I helped them in my own small way.”
– Armand Rosamilia, Editor of Clash of Steel - “Stitch in Time,” BattleCorps.com, 2005

“Another awesome flash piece is, ‘The Return’ by Dayle A. Dermatis. This coming of age flash blends ancestor worship and lunar travel through a poetically inventive conceit of ‘speaking trees’. This piece is a flash SF triumph, recommended for both theme and technique.”

- “Devouring Heart,” The Sweetest Kiss: Ravishing Vampire Erotica, Cleis Press, 2009
“Singling out individual stories in this collection is hard because each of them is effective in its own way. However, one especially memorable story for me is the one lesbian story in this collection: ‘Devouring Heart’ by Andrea Dale. In this heartbreaking tale, the good intentions of both vampire and mortal can’t make up for the communication gap between them. This relationship makes a valid-enough metaphor for real-life relationships in an incestuous lesbian community, and the story seems true to its literary roots.”

- “Queens Up,” Lesbian Cowboys: Erotic Adventures, Cleis Press, 2009
reprinted in Best Lesbian Romance 2010, Cleis Press, 2010“‘Queens Up’ by Andrea Dale is the tale of Josephine who uses her skill at poker to undo her father’s mistakes and reclaim a home for herself and Margaret. This clever historical tale flows beautifully with excellent characters and exceptional prose.”

—Erotica-Readers.com - “Party Favor,” Dirty Girls, Seal Press, 2008
- “His Lady’s Manservant,” Yes, Ma’am, Cleis Press, 2008
“Another stellar story is ‘His Lady’s Manservant’ from Andrea Dale. It is a period piece, as a couple switches for the weekend at a Victorian murder mystery. The former submissive is now a lady of the house, her husband now the butler, leading to delicious moments of chastisement for dusty corners and fucking on command. This story takes roleplaying to a new and delightful level.”

–amazon.com - “Working Late,” She’s On Top, Cleis Press, 2007
- “On the Twelfth Day,” He’s On Top, Cleis Press, 2007
“The stories in He’s On Top run the gamut from sweet to ferocious. There’s ‘Confession,’ in which an unhappily married couple reinvent their marriage in the harsh language of dominance and submission, and ‘On the Twelfth Day…’ wherein a pair of lovers determines how deeply into the lifestyle they can bear to explore. Those stories read as gritty and hot, quickly giving me a girlie-wood with their excellently-written sex.”
