"Jennifer Brozek’s In a Gilded Light is a wickedly delightful collection of vignettes that does everything it can to manipulate and destroy any safe refuge in which the reader may foolishly think they can seek comfort. She shows her talent for taking normal people that we have most likely all encountered and flipping their world on its head in 3 pages or less. Reading In a Gilded Light is like being in a boxing match with your hands tied behind your back; you know each punch is coming, but are uncertain where it will come from. Your only defense is to set the book down, to step away from the beating…but you won’t want to. And that is the joy of this collection.

In these 105 vignettes Jennifer leaves no stone, grave marker or corpse unturned. As a bonus, she provides the inspirations for each one of her gut-punches, inviting us all in to see where her ideas took form.

In a Gilded Light is more than a collection of horror stories. It also serves as a portrait for everything that unsettles and defines us as fans of horror and the written word. Perhaps more importantly, it is the prominent milestone of a talented writer that we’re likely all going to hear about in the future."
