Pleasant Drugs Reviewed in The Pedestal Magazine


"Pleasant Drugs is a collection of short fiction, but many of the individual stories also operate as mini-novels. Kulpa has a way of drawing the reader into character depth as well as breadth. Whole lived lives are encapsulated within these pages."
--Review by Nathan Leslie
