Hellnotes on "Knock 'em Dead Kid"

...the standout story of Revenant...this story packs an emotional wallop.

Nick Gevers
Locus on "The King's Snow"

...Josh Rountree skillfully evokes the melancholy of personal sacrifice...

Aimee Poynter, Tangent Online
on "The Queen's Wood"

...I couldnt put it down...a thoroughly enjoyable story that questions the nature of faith and how it manifests itself in the believer.

Rich Horton
on "Friday Night Gods"

Among the better stories...Josh Rountree's 'Friday Night Gods,' an amusingly different look at football.
