Praise for Gemma Files

"Experimental Film is sensational. When we speak of the best in contemporary horror and weird fiction, we must speak of Gemma Files."
--Laird Barron

"Gemma Files has one of the great dark imaginations in fiction--visionary, transgressive, and totally original. With this new novel [Experimental Film], Files explores the world of film and horror in a way that will leave you reeling. A smart, sharp page-turner with heart and depth."
--Jeff VanderMeer

"Gemma's been producing top-notch horror stories for years, and her weird Western Hexslinger trilogy is chock full of hellish horrors."
--Mike Allen

"I am surely addicted, and this new addiction has a name-Gemma Files. We had company over the weekend, company I adore and hadn't seen in a year, and I still snuck in bits of this audio book. The author spins together imagery that is breath-taking in both beauty and terror."
--A Dab of Darkness (audiobook review)
