“Phantasmagoric, imaginative, unflinching and magnificent, Zelenyj writes like a madman possessed. With Beware Us Flowers of the Annihilator, we get one of the greatest modern day short story writers spreading his wings and flying away with the readers’ souls. Simply phenomenal.”
– Steve Stred, author of Mastodon, Churn the Soil and Wagon Buddy
“Wildly original, and a complete master at pulverizing the boundaries which restrict genres, Alexander Zelenyj is a dazzling shooting star in the world of weird fiction.”
– Ginger Nuts of Horror
“Canada’s master of elegantly drafted bizarrie… Science fiction, surrealism, Canadiana and great storytelling: not too many books these days can be said to Have It All, but Beware Us Flowers of the Annihilator can and does.”
– Adam Groves, The Bedlam Files
“Alexander Zelenyj’s Beware Us Flowers of the Annihilator is a masterpiece of modern literary weird fiction.”
– Rising Shadow
“There are few short story specialists as prolific, endlessly entertaining, creative, and simply batshit crazy as Alexander Zelenyj. These bizarre stories often capture startling snapshots of life, coming-of-age moments, heartbreak, or individuals trapped within the ripples of otherworldly occurrences. The natural ability to effortlessly flow between genres is a rare gift and few do it better, where literary rulebooks are discarded and the monsters are frequently the most compassionate characters. He has an unpredictable and jarring writing style, which takes plots and narratives into bizarre directions, often slipping down sideroads, instead of directing his narratives into the realms of the crowd pleasing money shot. He refuses to play by any literary rulebook, except his own. This is all part of Alexander Zelenyj’s unique charm.”
