"Cleopatra’s Needle beautifully uses the immigrant experience in a younger, and eerier, America to show that the only thing surer than love is the human potential for cruelty and exploitation. I don’t know how long Carole Lanham has been writing seriously, but these early works of hers have only convinced me that, as a storyteller, she emerged fully formed into excellence."
