“These stories, over and over, are smart, funny, deeply human, and teeming with vibrancy. If the collection had any more life to it, it’d walk right off the bookshelf.”
— Aimee Bender, Author
“Tracy DeBrincat’s extraordinary collection presents a myriad of narrators with an intensely engaging voice, all created by a writer who makes me want to pop out my front door and dive deeper into the private lives of people all around me. I am certain this is just the beginning of a stunning romance for fiction lovers everywhere.”
— Melissa Chadburn, essayist and short story writer, currently writing, A Tiny Upward Shove, her teenage foster care narrative.
“Tracy DeBrincat’s collection stirs the pot of personalities and boils up the most unpredictable bunch ever. Whimsical, laugh-out-loud hysterical at times, Troglodyte is a must have for any larger-than-life woman who finds herself making decisions for happiness’ sake when sanity isn’t an option.”
— Melanie Page, Grab the Lapels
