advanced praise for glass slipper dreams, shattered

gam delivers devastating punches in this collection of short-shorts, taking our breath away with a turn of a phrase, a dark play on words; every syllable paints unexpected shadows in our imagination.

—Linda D. Addison, award-winning author of How to Recognize a Demon Has Become Your Friend and HWA Lifetime Achievement Award winner

Reminiscent of Mercedes Yardley’s work, doungjai gam’s stories and prose poems are small gems filled with heartbreak, sorrow, and longing, but they also hold light in the darkness and hope in the despair. Lovely!

—Damien Angelica Walters, author of Cry Your Way Home

doungjai gam writes powerful vignettes, songs of darkness and sorrow, anger and pain, with a beautiful prose style. Each tale, regardless of length, another examination of the human condition and the fragments left behind when a soul is shattered. Beautifully tragic.

—James A. Moore, author of the Serenity Falls Trilogy

doungjai gam’s flash fiction exists in a liminal space between poetry and assassination. Every single word in Glass Slipper Dreams, Shattered was chosen for its greatest impact, and the stories are all breathtakingly precise and perfectly honed. Slow down and take your time with these stories. Gam’s beautiful writing is so sharp it could cut a shadow.

—Bracken MacLeod, author of Come To Dust and 13 Views Of The Suicide Woods

Tales brimming with fear, dread and horror—a strong, unique new voice!

—Thomas Tessier, author of Phantom
