“An Age of Monsters – William Taylor Jr: What would you do if you were trapped in a cage? Hiss at the monsters outside, stained in your own piss and stink? And what would you dream about, should you get out? Maybe plot revenge on a lover. Maybe kill a man over $400 and a stupid insult. And what about all those other people on the outside: drunken clowns and murderous four year olds; wannabe artists and crazies in trains? Maybe, just maybe, when someone finally did open that door to let you out, you would just sniff the air, shake, then cower back into the farthest corner of your cell, listening to all the other prisoners, wailing and crying in theirs.”
– R L Raymond, PigeonBike
“In his short story collection An Age of Monsters, William Taylor Jr. writes about life on the fringe in San Francisco with extraordinary clarity and with great humor and humanity. He is a clever, natural born story teller who loves to describe people and relationships, especially when things fuck up.”
– George Anderson, Bold Monkey

“William Taylor Jr. writes with guts and honesty, taking us into the minds of characters that are scary and oddly lovable at the same time. Taylor shows a side of San Francisco from a unique local perspective. An Age of Monsters is an armchair travel guide to the feel of the people and communities where even some San Franciscans dare not venture.”
– Tony DuShane, author of Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk and host of the weekly radio show, Drinks With Tony.
