“Kendra is so good I want to eat her heart to gain her powers.”
— Zachary Doss, editor-in-chief of the Black Warrior Review

Thoughts on Kendra Fortmeyer's Work

October 09, 2015 in News
 
 
“Good stories linger like guests who have overstayed their welcome and Fortmeyer’s Mermaids at the End of the Universe is one such story. When I encountered it, I was immediately taken with the humour and horror of the piece, the thread of sadness lingering underneath. Much of Fortmeyer’s work is known for this quality and much of it deploys the surreal.”
— Lesley Arimah, winner of the Commonwealth Short Story prize for Africa
“Even though I am a Lovecraftian nightmare god wholly committed to bringing about the end times, this gave me feelings. I did not expect to read something that ruled this hard before noon today, I tell you what.”
— laldagorth, commenter on The Toast
 
 
“Kendra’s work has quite an original quality, in which the strange, the eerie, and the otherworldly explore profound questions about our need for connection, about the absurdity of our desires and the frailty of our existence in a moment in which we’ve never felt so vulnerable.”
— Antonio Ruiz-Camacho, author of Barefoot Dogs
