Praise

I have never read anything like this and I have to have more!

Jamie is a forest/park ranger who just wants to preserve the hot springs in the park. Aaron is her assistant and resident handyman. When bodies start piling up from the pool inside the cave, more than one secret is at risk of being exposed.

Guys, guys. Stop reading this and go get it, read it, THEN finish this review. (I know you won’t, you little scamps, but you should). I hate the water to begin with and stories like this just solidify why I refuse to even dip my toes in. It’s an ecological, body, botanical, organic horror. I’m saying all four. And there’s gore and a body count. And secrets. And oh my God. It’s perfect!

I need more from Roni. I’m about to go on a binge so go pick this one up. A HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/5.”

A fast-paced, gory nod to VHS horror films, Fuzzy is the perfect addition to the Rewind or Die series.

Roni Stinger crafts a monster narrative both familiar and truly unique… Sink into the depths and let Fuzzy wash over you!

– Angela Sylvaine, author of Frost Bite

I don’t want to give too much away… Let’s just say Roni has a handle on not only those throwback monster narratives, but also the more modern ones. Monsters come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes you won’t see one until it’s too late.

– C.C. Adams author of But Worse will Come
