Rob Beschizza • Published June 30th 2021
"Even in the most Lovecraftian, rich descriptions of arcane deities and strange beings, the prose's focus is upon how it might feel to emotionally live within such a world. [...] Thoroughly recommended."

Greg Buchanan, author of Sixteen Horses and writer for No Man's Sky
"Devotionalia manages to pull off a feat that is difficult for any artwork in any form: It's emotionally powerful and yet ambiguous enough to allow for multiple interpretations."

Mike Spivey, author of A Beauty Cold and Austere
"Music, darkness, melancholy, the unknowably alien, and the space to absorb them. That’s the mood which Devotionalia is after, and it skewers it like a moth on a specimen-board."

Sam Kabo Ashwell, These Heterogenous Tasks
