Praise for Machines of Another Era

  • "These stories are distinctive, powerfully moving, and exquisitely well-written. Please join me in the Bess Winter Fan Club.”

    Chris Bachelder, author of The Throwback Special and 2016 National Book Award Finalist

  • “Bess Winter’s stories are lovely and lithe and odd; much like scraps of paper and curious photographs found tucked away in old books, they haunt in corners of the mind for a long time after reading, full of ephemera and wonder.”

    Amber Sparks, author of I Do Not Forgive You

  • "Machines of Another Era is the startling debut of a thrilling new voice on the literary scene.”

    Josh Weil, National Book Foundation 5 under 35 honoree and author of The Age of Perpetual Light
