About me:
BOOKS
“Erin Pringle’s stories are true wonders – a beautiful mix of intimate feeling, thick syntax, and dangerous language.”
~Michael Kimball, author of Dear Everybody
“It is no mean achievement to sustain such a story-like lyricism over the long haul of a book-length collection. This is a remarkable debut. A keeper that keeps keeping on.”
~Michael Martone, author of Michael Martone
“The stories in Erin Pringle’s first collection possess the charm of fairy tales, the wisdom of poems, the hope of prayers, the weight of eulogies, and the intimacy of letters home.”
~Tom Noyes, author of Spooky Action at a Distance and Other Stories
"A collection of rather disturbing short stories. 'Enjoyed' really wouldn't be the right word. 'Impressed' would be nearer the mark." ~Scott Pack, The Friday Project
"These stories capture the intensities of experiences, both fleeting insignificant moments in a life and momentous catastrophes." ~the short review
