| From Midnight Walk's reviews: |
| " "The Guixi Sisters" by Jodi Kaplan Lester captures the exotic dark magic of China..." |
| Creature Feature Tomb of Horror |
| "...a great piece based in Chinese mythology..." |
| Dark Discoveries |
| "Jodi Kaplan Lester introduces readers to "The Guixi Sisters", three orphaned Chinese girls, who reunite with their orphanage caretaker years after each is adopted, in a beautifully rendered story of ancestral descent and ancient Chinese tradition. With vivid imagery and just a hint of surrealism that never takes the story out of its own reality, Kaplan crafts a marvelous tale evocative of The Joy Luck Club meets Children of the Corn." |
| Dark Scribe Magazine |
| "The second best tale in here belongs to Jodi Kaplan Lester whose "The Guixi Sisters" serves up a different, but severely creepy story of Chinese sisters who are anything but who they appear to be." |
| Horror World |
| "..."The Guixi Sisters" by Jodi Kaplan Lester...(is) uniquely disturbing...and give(s) the reader a tangible sense of vulnerability." |
