“Telecommuting is a prescient, chilling exploration of contemporary isolation from each other, from our hopes and dreams. Suspenseful and gripping, L. Marie Wood crafts psychological horror you can’t put down!”

– John Edward Lawson, author of Bibliophobia

“Vampire fans will get their fill here, as will horror readers thirsty for a fresh, unexpected take on one of the genres oldest mythologies.”

– Library Journal

“[L. Marie Wood’s] prose is the ink-and-pulp equivalent of a whisper in the dark, an icy talon clutching the throat, a dead man’s kiss upon your lips as you sleep.”

– Anthony Beal

“From the very first page this novel is a series of extremely disturbing events, particularly nightmarish dream sequences. Centering on one man’s imminent insanity and death (think Jacob’s Ladder or Stir of Echoes), Crescendo draws a fine line between what is madness and what is supernatural.”
