Monsoon and Other Stories

“Arinn Dembo’s 'Monsoon,' the deserving prize winner, tells the tale of Benton, a photographer and womanizer traveling in India, whose encounter with a mysterious seductress results in an eerie surprise…” –Publisher’s Weekly

“...lushly written...Dembo so firmly and skillfully establishes the South Asian setting you can practically feel the baking heat and smell the curry…” –Lydia Thorn, Uniquely Pleasurable

“Monsoon” by Arinn Dembo is one of the best stories I have read in a long time, something I could easily have seen in The New Yorker back in the day when they were accepting slipstream fiction and more female authors.” –Carol Ann Moletti, “On Women’s Fiction”

“This is a very strong SF story...Well written and well drawn images of the world and the culture of the vessel create a strong backdrop to the character's personal story. Arinn Dembo is a writer to watch.” -Jim Bailey, Short Fiction Round-up
