“Mauro has a lot of literary knack on top of her weird fiction capacities making her stories well formed, beautiful, sometimes scary and always strange. The strangeness is magical as a reader because it deliberately alters your perception, rendering you more curious and open to what a story has to say.” – Gemma Webster, Fiction Unbound
“Mauro distorts quaint divides between the inhuman and the human too; often a source of deep anxiety, but also of curiosity about ourselves unexpectedly exposed as alien, as always having been alien.” – Rowan Fortune, Medium.com
“Sing Your Sadness Deep, will have you running through every emotion, from joy to despair, from warmth to revulsion, with its transcendent look at the human condition.” – Ginger Nuts of Horror
“Personally, I think that love and acceptance take the center stage in many of the stories that Mauro writes. Mauro weaves love through the horror of many of the stories which such ease which says a lot about her as a writer.” – Toni the Reader
“It’s easy enough to state that the debut collection by Laura Mauro, Sing Your Sadness Deep (Undertow), is a work of fine and accomplished writing, as near to flawless in its execution as you might wish for. Her language is evocative but clear; her characterisation is compelling.” – Grey Dog Tales
“With its well-honed prose, this collection shows us a writer who is focused intimately on the seams in a naturalistic present through which otherworldly pains—and a few pleasures—leak.” – Locus Magazine
Dispatches from the Sinister Room 
Well done. I considered subbing to them, but didn’t have anything ready. Maybe next time. Look forward to seeing your story, and I must track down the first one.
thanks a lot Paul, I really hope you enjoy it. Shadows & Tall Trees is always worth a read – a lot of my favourite authors have popped up in the pages
Reblogged this on priya sharma fiction and commented:
This is something to look forward to. I really enjoy Laura Mauro’s work- especially “Ptichka” (from Horror Uncut) and “When Charlie Sleeps” (Black Static #37, reprinted in Best British Horror).
Thanks for this Priya, so kind of you and much appreciated x
