Praise for Shards:

"With Shards, Shane Jiraiya Cummings takes us on a guided tour of the darkest backroads of the imagination. It is wonderfully moody and creepy."
— Jonathan Maberry, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Patient Zero.

"Shane Jiraiya Cummings with Shards shows he is not only a master of the flash fiction style of writing but has pretty much written the definitive statement on how it should work. The collection is a strong statement on the validity of an internet-driven writing style and is a must have for any collector of Australian dark fiction."
— Jeff Ritchie, ScaryMinds

"Cummings' work possesses a Stephen King-like quality, creating rich and colourful characters in a handful of words ... Well worth the read."
— Mark Smith-Briggs, HorrorScope

"This is how flash fiction should be written—sharp, brilliant images conjured by amazingly few words. Cummings' aptitude for flash fiction is evident in every carefully chosen phrase."
— Stephanie Gunn, HorrorScope
