Phantasmagoria Magazine #23 by reviewer Tori Born:
"I found this collection incredibly engaging and had to take breaks between stories to fully digest each one. I enjoyed 'Flesh and Bones', and genuinely feel that this is a stand-out story. Perhaps less terrifying than the other tales, this one is disturbingly romantic in its own, macabre way. Kilpatrick is a master at creating atmosphere and setting a scene that you can't just see but can smell, and can feel, and this story is the perfect example of how she best employs these skills."
Lovecraftiana Magazine review:
"The anthology as a whole is well textured, with running themes at some points, while at others introducing stories that come as a complete surprise."
Hellnotes by reviewer Elaine Pascale:
"Thirteen Plus-1 contains clever stories with recurring themes...which delve into the origins of the human species. ...gothic horror, body horror, bizarro horror, feminist horror-enough of a buffet to delight any palate."
The Horror Zine by reviewer John Cozzoli
"Kilpatrick breathes Lovecraft's doom-soaked vapors into each of her people and the question each must answer is how they will survive."
