Praise for Haines’ work
“Take a slab of Hunter S. Thompson, add some Philip K. Dick, and throw them into a blender for a while. Add a little dash of Brothers Grimm and a spoonful of American Psycho and what do you end up with? Paul Haines.” –Strange Horizons

“Haines writes from the heart, using personal experience and observations from his extensive travels to give his characters and situations a rich and authentic feel.” –HorrorScope
