Pull Quotes

"Sexual lust, blood lust, lust for love––all are explored in Mary-Kim Arnold’s 'Lust.'"

“'Lust' was hailed by critic Robert Coover as a 'miniature gem'” (Coover). 

"We come away from reading 'Lust' having received not a clear understanding of a story but instead a reminder of the damage relationships can do, the lust they can evoke, the raw emotion they can drain from us, and how deeply they can cut."
