“Brian Warfield's Beach Story is a strange and disorienting literary experience. The prose manages to be deadpan and hauntingly atmospheric at the same time, while action and identity twitch, drift, and shift like sand on a parking lot. It reminds me of the work of old-time weirdos like Alfred Jarry and Henri Michaux, but mostly because those guys were doing their own thing. Brian Warfield is most definitely doing his own thing.” – Christian TeBordo
"Brian Warfield writes the world in a way that might make you believe you're looking at another landscape entirely, but squint a little harder. He's showing you what you've been missing all along. Let him teach you how to see with his eyes. Allow your world to be reconfigured." – Jac Jemc
“Simple, absurd, a book with the glow of incandescent amber at 100 watts. Brian Warfield offers up this dream of jellyfish, sand, and sharp sentences – you’ll be drugged by it from the first page.” – Sarah Rose Etter
