Review
"Gina Frangello's Slut Lullabies will seduce you."
—Vanity Fair
"Savvy, sexy, blunt stories that keep inviting a reader in. Frangello's voice
feels like a friend you've known for years, telling you stories with warmth and
insight."
—Aimee Bender
"Gina Frangello is unafraid to look hard at the dark side of human nature, but she writes with such compassion and humor that we come away from these fictions with new insight into the strange world we all live in. You lift your head from this book dazed and blinking in new light. These are jaw-dropping stories."
—Dan Chaon
"Slut Lullabies is daring short fiction at its finest; it explores the full range of modern life—from love to sex to illness to family—with all the refinement and frankness of Anaïs Nin. If you have any question about the future of the short story, this beguiling collection is its formidable answer."
—Joe Meno
"Frangello writes with great wit and pathos about a remarkable range of human dynamics. Slut Lullabies dazzles and surprises with its scope and invention."
—Jonathan Evison

"Simply put, Gina Frangello is a fearless writer, unafraid to show us the raw and real ways we deal with each other, and with ourselves, and the stories in Slut Lullabies are no exception. Her richly developed characters are alive and breathing in these beautiful, sometimes brutal stories, and her powers of observation about the human psyche are alarmingly dead on."
-- Elizabeth Crane, You Must Be This Happy to Enter
