<p>Praise for <i>Valery the Great</i>:</p>

<p>"15 Finest Book Covers in Spring Fiction This Year" selection (<i>Something Daily</i> blog)</p>

<p>“By turns comic, pathetic, and tenderly tragic, <i>Valery the Great</i> is a charming collection.” (<i>Quill & Quire</i>)</p>

<p>“Her voice is scathing, very funny, her stories twisting at the end to leave me a bit stunned. … I loved this book, a short story collections whose curation had as much thought put into it as the stories themselves, a fantastic package with a gorgeous design. In addition to considerable talent, there is furious energy at work here, McCluskey giving it her all, and as a result, reading was a pleasure.” (<i>Pickle Me This</i>)</p>

<p>“McCluskey is at her finest when she uses sharp humour and skillful, economic description to communicate her fatalistic worldview.” (<i>The Globe and Mail</i>)</p>
