Críticas:
"While diverging from paranormal themes, "Stabs . . ." is no less shadowy, cinematic, confessional, unsentimental and, well, grim, son. "Stabs at Happiness" is a vivid, engaging, commendable, recommendable return to print for an unsung local author." "The Oregonian "(November 2012)"
"At his best, Todd Grimson channels the likes of Paul Bowles and Graham Greene. He works effortlessly, with fine result." --Joel Rose, author, The Blackest Bird and Kill, Kill, Faster, Faster
"The stories in Todd Grimson's brilliant collection shine a blinding, sinister light onto the darker chambers of the human heart. In the tradition of Hubert Selby, Jr., Paul Bowles, and Robert Stone, Grimson remains a true original: a genuine 21st century American visionary." --Elizabeth Hand, author, Available Dark and Generation Loss
"Grimson's short fiction occupies that high, clear zone where Borges and Kafka dwell. The atmosphere is intoxicating and ominous. The view is limitless, seductive, always unexpected and distinctly dangerous. Delicious." --Katherine Dunn, author, Geek Love
"Grimson anchors all his stories with well-wrought descriptions of people and places that linger long afterward, (and) offers off-kilter and occasionally surreal glimpses of the world and its inhabitants." --Publishers Weekly (September 10, 2012)

"Todd Grimson's stories are perhaps slightly less ruthless than his splendid meta-pulp novels, but they are ruthless enough. . . . A devastating compound of desire, hopelessness, and waste." --Marry Mathews, author, Cigarettes and The Journalist
"Grimson's stories bear traces of Kafka, and the uncanny narrative syllogisms of Borges and Barthelme. The familiar is rare in Stabs. . . . Grimson has created a world awash in the dazed impossibility of things as they are." --Willamette Week (October 24, 2012)

Marking the first original publication by Todd Grimson in almost 20 years, the 13 stories compiled in this volume showcase the author’s fascinating fictional canvases, peopled by authentic and sympathetic characters with settings ranging from the Amazon to the Sahara and stops in between to 1970s East Village and pre-Castro Cuba. Whether it’s a Hollywood starlet who goes AWOL from her movie set in the wake of her husband's suicide and in disguise embarks anonymously on a hedonistic bender or an African American man seeking the answer behind the mysterious disappearance of his friend in the heart of Muslim North Africa, each individual within these stories is striving to break free, to make new meaning of their world, to find recognition or self-definition in an otherwise bleak and unsympathetic world. Fresh and bold and original in his voice and depiction of character, places, and events, Grimson’s range is extraordinary, his imagination is unsurpassable, and his empathy for his characters—whether killers, transvestites, prostitutes—are all deeply heartfelt.
