Krackle in the Press

“Dipped in glittery melancholy, incisive, and indulgent in its aesthetic, this novella is an accomplished debut which interrogates the experience of being marginalized...there’s a stylistic splash of theatrical excess and circus showiness which clashes productively with the shaky quality of a cheap handheld camera...Sutton’s writing shares a lineage with emotionally intense, female-centered, compact storytelling, which is clear from her choice of short story writers she lists as her influences: Kelly Link, Carmen Maria Machado, and Aimee Bender. Like them, she excels in compressed, high-impact scenes that are then open to interpretation—striking bursts followed by slow-spreading reflections...[Sutton] brings formal control and conceptual ambition into alignment. The result is an assured and distinctive debut: a reflection on the horror and the glory of otherness refracted through a distorted, carnival mirror.”

"A smart, weird, big-hearted little nightmare . . . it’s funny as hell and strangely tender. . .The voice is sharp, the structure is inventive, and the emotional gut-punch lands even when it’s wearing clown makeup and dripping ectoplasm…”
