"The Hitchhiking Effect is one of the best single-author collections I've read. While Gene O'Neill is considered a genre writer, these stories will appeal to anyone who loves a great, well-written story."
- Sheri White, The Horror Review
"A compelling surreal tale of crime and redemption. Its beautiful central image will stick in the reader's mind for years to come. This is O'Neill at his finest."
- Kim Stanley Robinson, multiple Nebula and Hugo award-winning novelist
"Haunting, lyrical and often uncomfortably realistic... minds changed by grief, chemistry, or too much hard living... deft, authentic prose resonates with the weight of sad reality, erasing the line between knowledge and fear."
- Red Starred Review, Publishers Weekly
Genre: Science Fiction
