"Rob Shearman is a truly unique voice... His peculiar fantasies of our emotional lives, full of eccentric surprises and exquisite absurdities, tell the secret life of love in all its silly glory."
– Stephen Volk, author of Ghostwatch and Afterlife

"His stories are like the bastard offspring of Philip K Dick and Jonathan Carroll, but with a quirky personality that is completely their own."
– Stephen Jones, World Fantasy award winning editor, Best New Horror

"Robert Shearman has surpassed his incredible debut, Tiny Deaths, with this second collection, which is even better... His stories are numinous, incisive and devastating, by turns hilariously funny and unbearably sad."
– Mark Morris, British Fantasy Award winner, author of The Deluge

"Shearman has called his stories 'love songs' and rightly so - like the best love songs, they go straight to your heart, and haunt your memory."
– Frank Cottrell Boyce, author of Millions, winner of the Carnegie Medal

"Rob Shearman is one of those rare writers who knows that reality can’t be pinned down. These stories lift off. They do loop-de-loops. They glide from the mundane to the marvellous, from the dark to the delicious. His stories soar over the landscape of the human heart and return us dizzy, delighted and moved."
– Alison Macleod, author of Fifteen Modern Tales of Attraction

"EVERYONE’S JUST SO SO SPECIAL intertwines the strange and the everyday in a broad examination of the relationship between individuals and the grand sweep of history. . . Whether the characters are special or not, Shearman's collection certainly is."
– The Huffington Post

"Shearman's third collection gathers 21 bizarre, psychologically quirky stories . . . They read more like sections cut from the lives of humdrum characters who become, under the author's microscopic scrutiny, endearingly extraordinary."
– The Guardian

"But Shearman’s work, most of all, is intelligent.  And that’s why it is so effective. His stories are carefully constructed using a blend of sophistication and gentle wit that will keep readers coming back . . . ."
– Shroud Magazine

"Thrillingly unpredictable, bizarrely life-enhancing . . . . Shearman is a great writer."
– The Scotsman

"Audacious and emotionally affecting all at once, Remember Why You Fear Me is high-test nightmare fuel. It’s capably crafted and cripplingly creepy." 
– San Francisco Book Review

"Shearman is extremely talented, and his literary style is both elegant and direct" 
– Library Journal
