“The Uninnocent is a masterpiece of empathy and of storytelling.  I love this chapel of unholy stories with their charming, monstrous, wholly sympathetic characters.”
- Karen Russel, author of Swamplandia

“In The Uninnocent, acclaimed novelist Bradford Morrow shows off his dazzling short-story chops.  The results are spellbinding, unsettling: as knowing, wakeful, and thorny as the title.  Every writer should be as courageous, as open to the unknown, as Morrow reveals himself to be.”
- Peter Straub

“An ambitious, thoughtful writer, technically accomplished and emotionally truthful.”
- Washington Post

“Morrow gives voice to the peace at the center of the chaos all around and within us. His collection, The Uninnocent, is not only very beautiful but very important.”
- Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author

“There has never been a short story by Bradford Morrow that i haven’t read at a single sitting―fascinated, thrilled, at times a bit breathless. There is a subterranean air about his fiction that pulls the reader down, as if into a vertiginous whirlpool. if you read just a single story by Bradford Morrow, you will be drawn into his gravitational pull inexorably.”
- Joyce Carol Oates
