“Josh Denslow’s stories are intricate, fun, and beautiful, though always about heartbreak and loss. They’re like perfect little castles made of jewels and lego bricks that rise out of a howling abyss.” —Ben Loory author of Tales of Falling and Flying
“Josh Denslow’s Not Everyone is Special is truly irresistible. Subversive, hilar- ious, and profoundly moving, these stories should come with a warning labelto clear your schedule before you begin because you’ll find yourself bingereading the entire book. A sensational debut.” —Kirstin Chen author of Bury What We Cannot Take
“Denslow makes his cast of outsiders, six-time losers, and lovelorn loners both heartbreaking and unforgettable. This debut collection sparkles with heart, bitter satire, and irresistible aplomb.” —–J. Ryan Stradal author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest
