“Paul Edward Costa writes towards the future, his creativity acting as a barometer to coming trends.God Damned Avalonserves as a testament to his command of Flash Fiction and his comfort in the radically changing medium of written words.” —Brandon Pitts, Author ofTender in the Age of FuryandIn the Company of Crows

 

“...an exciting collection of Flash Fiction. Through unusual plots, weird characters, and unexpected shifts, he creates a surreal atmosphere rearranging our concept of time and space.” —Professor Laurence Hutchman, author and poet

 

“Using paradox, imagery, and symbolism, Paul Edward Costa invites us into what may seem otherworldly at first, but the universe that he so cleverly conjures up in God Damned Avalon couldn’t be any closer to the human condition and our unrelenting fate as earthlings. The duality of beauty and pain, of life and death, or hope and despair, is hidden masterfully in the stories of this collection.” —Efetobore Mike-Ifeta, Poet and organizer of The talent Next Door and the MAKE Open Mic
