"In all, it’s a rather short book, but there is a lot of rich, imaginative concentrated escapism – a lot inside a little space. Greene makes conservative use of words, making as few as possible go as far as they can be stretched, not unlike, say, Kafka, who also was a master of minimalistic writing with a maximum imagery effect." – KM, Reviewer Magazine.

"I don't try to conjure a single word to describe a given book, but in this case the word "lingering" comes to mind when I think about the stories in Nancy O. Greene's Portraits in the Dark. This is subtle writing that sort of wraps around you unawares." -Daniel Jolley, Amazon.com Top 50 Reviewer.

From the Author: 

"The characters in these stories suffer through and deal with emotions most of us experience at one time or another. They are surrounded by circumstances that they brought upon themselves or, in some cases, had little to no control over. Partially, I wanted to look at the darkness of what it means to exist and to choose, to examine how far that darkness can go, what choices people make to struggle out of or go deeper into that pit. But more than that, I hoped to create stories that are both entertaining and thought-provoking, something readers can identify with, enjoy, and interpret in their own unique ways."
