Eutopia reviewed at All Things Horror

"Nickle comes from a different cut of cloth than a lot of current horror authors. ...he understands that the most important ingredients are strong characters, originality, and a compelling story. That his novel is also dark, frightening, and beautifully written is just icing on the cake."

Objects of Worship "absolutely enthralling"

"Every world is fully realized; they're rich and vibrant and disturbing all at the same time--real worlds full of impossible things. ...I found it absolutely enthralling, and it's rare anymore that I find something I put firmly into the 'couldn't put it down' category. I highly recommend this book; it's a truly imaginative and unique collection."
