Praise for Claude Lalumière's previous books:
"There is no Good Housekeeping seal of approval or Underwriter Laboratory certification for literature, but the name Claude Lalumière on the cover of a book is the next best thing. Any anthology he has had a hand in is almost certainly worth your time and money."
--Black Gate
"Lalumière certainly knows how to spot talent... With Island Dreams, he has succeeded once again."
--Montreal Gazette
"One of the best anthologies of the year... Highly recommended."
--Asimov's
"Twenty-six big laughs at the way the world turns [...] strongly sardonic fiction [...] Ringingly brilliant."
--Kirkus Review
