Review Quotes: "What if we were punished for our continued denial of the self in pursuit of the promise of the stars? And how far would you go to save us? All at once a wonderfully weird western and a horrifyingly prescient cautionary tale, Chimera Skin is the kind of story that haunts every last cell. Finally, a True Grit for the freaks!"--Bridget D. Brave, author of Harvest Queen, Goopy, Deeper, and others
