"I like Laimo's writing. He seems to be coming into his own stylistically, and I predict that in less than two years you will see his name more in the pro press than the small press."
— Science Fiction Chronicle
"Michael Laimo is able to draw out the tension and suspense until it is almost unbearable."
— Edo van Belkom, author of death Drives a Semi, and Writing Horror
"With Deep in the Darkness, Michael Laimo evokes a level of fear on par with Lovecraft and Machen. Creepy, atmospheric, and scary as hell — beware those golden eyes!"
— Brian Keene, author of The Rising and City of the Dead |
