“We are not in the presence of a callow and bullish youth, but a man of erudition and experience. Nicolay is one who has seen much, endured much, has undergone prolonged pressure and the result is a diamond among stones.”— Laird Barron, author of THE BEAUTIFUL THING THAT AWAITS US ALL

“Nicolay’s punch is grim and honest, his horizons vast, alluring, and keenly attuned to what unfurls in our darkest dreams.”— Joseph S. Pulver, Sr, author of BLOOD WILL HAVE ITS SEASON
