What people are saying about
The Veronicas of Our Own Perversions

  • More than a touch of Ballard here, along with Edgar Allan Poe, James M. Cain, Chuck Palahniuk, and the Coen Brothers

  • Koopmans writes with unflinching revelations of desire, humility, and desperation while managing to draw the reader deeper into the vulnerabilities of every protagonist along the way. These stories will stay with you long after you've finished reading

  • At turns gritty, tender, clear-eyed, sharp edged and darkly humorous
