"I love the way this guy writes about animals, especially the human ones."—Jo Ann Beard
"Mr. Lea can write one hell of a story . . . wonderful awful scary marvelous stories—I kept expecting to hit the wall, to be overwhelmed with depression at the intractable fates he chronicles, but somehow, magically, he kept me reading through and out the other side of grim right into stubborn awe. Get this book in print so I can give copies to everyone I know."—Dorothy Allison
"Lea is a new voice for the rural North Country in the tradition of Howard Frank Mosher, Russell Banks and Annie Proulx. His prose crackles with insight. He'll make you laugh and he'll make you cry, and if you're that North Country person he'll make you understand yourself a little better."—Ernest Hebert
"Attentive, sure-footed, possessed of an engaging voice and, best of all, a spirit of generosity, Creston Lea's Wild Punch is an exciting new find for any serious reader of short stories."—Rick Bass
"It’s an absolutely terrific work of fiction by the best young writer I’ve read in years."—Howard Frank Mosher
