Next Generation Indie Book Awards Judge Reviews

The Judge Reviews are in for the 2024 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, and I couldn’t be more delighted. It's always a good feeling when someone reads my book and picks up on its influences, like The Twilight Zone.

"Tamika Thompson's chilling short story collection truly runs the horror gamut: from psychological slow-burn to body horror, from unsettling dystopian set pieces to Hitchcockian animal suspense. The well-crafted and solidly penned stories found herein beg comparison to vintage serialized suspense television, think The Twilight Zone and (perhaps even more clearly) The Outer Limits. And, like the best and most infamous vignettes from those two series, these tales evocatively challenge the status quo as much as they entertain and horrify."
