    “Jeremy Adam Smith’s ‘Three Creations’… is as at once beautiful and mythic… entertaining and thought-provoking.” – Lit Haven, reviewing issue 4 of Flytrap

    "[In "Pyramus and Thisbe,"] Smith delves deep into the emotion called love and also reveals its tragic shallow flaws when that emotion is driven by false assumptions. Overall, a strong story, even when Smith sometimes falls away from showing and goes into telling mode. But in this, I think he does so on purpose to give the tale an authentic, mythic feel. Possibly the best and most meaningful story in this issue, and well worth the read, despite its length."– Tangent Online, reviewing issue 9 of Apex Digest
