Industry Accolades and Reviews for Born of Dirt & Dust
Literary Titan Review
"Born of Dirt & Dust is a sharp-edged collection of speculative flash & short fiction that keeps changing masks from urban dread, grief-myth, social horror, bruised fairy tale, while staying faithful to one obsession: what people do to survive when the world won’t stop chewing."

Discovery by Reedsy
"Born of Dirt and Dust takes an overall darker tone and is brimming with nonconventional characters and situations that pop from the page ... quick hits of fiction that will stick to your bones and invade your thoughts long after the last page is turned ... a must-have collection."

Kirkus Reviews
"Coloman’s second short story collection, following Roxy’s Not My Girl (2019), includes a dark bouquet of narratives that often focus on women pushed to emotional extremes. This set of works largely consists of first-person narratives ... and some are poetic flash-fiction." ​​
