“I was particularly struck by the little gem, ‘Sultan’s Sons’ by Dayle A Dermatis. This was, in my opinion, the shortest and 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“In Andrea Dale’s ‘Return to Wildwood,’ Julia inherits the ancestral home along with its mysteries: ‘Every mistress of Wildwood has kept to the rituals.’ There’s a villain making her an offer she can’t refuse and a woodland guardian spirit offering protection in return for submission both painful and ecstatic… ”

“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.”
