“OBJECTS OF WORSHIP takes us on a journey of the weird. Delving into the darkest corners of ‘primal myths’, bringing forth the inner workings of characters that are rarely seen on paper, we find a highly skilled writer at work … a most engrossing and disturbing collection.” The Novel Blog

“Enjoyable and thought-provoking … Lalumière shows us new and unique ways of looking … He exposes the ironic self-consciousness of our species and the communications problems we experience in trying to get through to others … Powerful and creative.” RoverArts

“Precision-crafted stories of oddball characters and their yearnings.” The Brutarian

“Highly enjoyable, ranging from humorous allegories to exciting yarns, with the odd detour into strange erotica.” The Montreal Mirror

“Intensely memorable.” Publishers Weekly

“Yes, it’s Canadian literature. And it’s fantastic.” Quill & Quire

“Nuanced … sparse … inventive … raises and leaves open many questions about the issues we as a society need to collectively discuss.” The Link
