Mercedes Yardley's literary voice is singular, beautiful, and striking in its poignant honesty. If you read anything from her marvelous canon - including "Apocalyptic Montessa and Nuclear Lulu: A Tale of Atomic Love", "Nameless: The Darkness Comes" or the newly released "Pretty Little Dead Girls" - you will discover tales that defy category (she calls them "whimsical horror") and will be a splash of wonder that will wake up and delight you.
