Critical reception

NPR wrote "Orange World is a thing of beauty, a stunning collection from one of the most brilliant literary minds of her generation."[1]

The Los Angeles Review of Books saod "Russell’s writing is at times overly lush, like the rich landscapes she describes. But even at its most profligate, her ability to give weird and creepy shape to what might otherwise remain dark corners of the human psyche is refreshing. Orange World and Other Stories is a collection hovering on the threshold between horror and comedy, between the phantasmagoric and the fleshly."[3]
