"Beautifully written, crafted with care, strongly plotted, these stories are about superbly developed characters, people whose lives matter."--George Garrett
"John Cottle writes like the lovechild of Edgar Allan Poe and William Faulkner. The Blessings of Hard-Used Angels is weird and beautiful and honest."--Daniel Wallace, Big Fish
"These stories are exhilarating to read; some are breathtaking and achingly beautiful. When I finished The Blessings of Hard-Used Angels, I walked around for days seeing the world through its light. Do yourself a favor, buy this book, get in on the secret before everyone else knows what you soon will: here is the future of Southern fiction."--John Dufresne, Deep in the Shade of Paradise
