Reviews
“A gem. Scarsbrook’s stories are arresting. Anyone looking through the lens of this Telescope can’t miss the author’s own star – rising up through the literary universe to a date with charmed destiny.”
– Mike Gillespie, The Ottawa Citizen
“Scarsbrook writes about love, and writes about it very well. All the stories are deeply emotional and have a tendency to affect you at a gut level. Stark and haunting … deeply involving … exquisitely lyrical.”
– Storyteller, Canada’s Short Story Magazine
“After reading the very absorbing and cinematically composed story “Black Taxi”, I wanted more, much more of it … It posesses all the elements of a fascinating novel: good characters, setting, tension, superb dialogue, comedy, pace, etc. “Black Taxi” is a writhing, living thing and I read it with admiration and excitement … no small acheivement.”
