Quotes about Grabowsky:

"My Dear Nicholas: You seem to me---in a way that's entirely admirable----a man out of time. You're writing horror epics when the audience has become increasingly numbed by cinematic hokum and stale ideas. I salute you: your ambition, your dedication, your achievements, your blissfully complex imagination...." ----Clive Barker (bestselling author & director, Hellraiser, etc.)

"Grabowsky succeeds in making the whole world creepy...." ----Heidi Martinuzzi, E! Entertainment Television

"Grabowsky's writing is at times touching and emotional, however, his real talent is his ability to infuse his writing with a sense of dread and loathing that I have not experienced since H.P. Lovecraft..." ----Tahoe Daily Tribune

"Grabowsky has imagination to spare.....!" ---Sacramento Bee

"Impressive storytelling....." ----Wes Craven (Dir., A Nightmare on Elm Street)

".....soon we'll all be hearing about this Grabowsky guy...." ---Joe Dante (Dir, Gremlins, The Howling)

"Keep 'em coming, Nicholas...." ----Stephen King

"All hail Grabowsky!" ---Horrorweb.com

"Grabowsky melds horror and Sci-fi with such expertise that I am left speechless." ---Gorezone Magazine
