“Floaters is nothing less than an immensely enjoyable, innovative and blood-spattered take on the zombie horror genre, pumping fresh blood into the veins of a stale and moribund corpse in order to bring it back to life so it may consume more living flesh. Floaters is clear evidence that Boatman has a distinctive talent for horror stories, and I look forward to seeing what he produces in the future, hopefully in partnership with Crystal Lake Publications.”

“When the Cicadas Stop Singing is nothing less than a masterpiece of survivalist post-apocalyptic horror fiction…”

“Andrew Doran and the Scroll of Nightmares is not only the best book in the Doran series, I firmly believe that it is the best book that Matthew Davenport has written so far. As I’ve followed his career with keen interest, I’ve witnessed an author who has demonstrated an intuitive understanding of the core concepts of the Cthulhu/Lovecraftian Mythos to an extent that few of his peers have managed to achieve, as well as a writer who is continually improving his craft. There’s a confidence in the novel that I haven’t seen before, both in its writing and in its overarching narrative and atmosphere, blending together the existing Mythos with Davenport’s own creations to create something fresh and potent, with highly potent worldbuilding bursting with fresh ideas and concepts…”

“A fast-paced, thrilling and complex historical thriller, Bloody Orkney has completely revived my interest in the historical fiction genre, with author Ken Lussey delivering a masterclass in how to invigorate the stale, trope-ridden setting of the Second World War by setting the narrative in a distant, unfamiliar location he imbues with a chilling and unsettling atmosphere and filling it with multi-faceted, memorable characters who stay with you long after the novel has come to an end.”

“The Damocles Files: Ragnarok Rising is a remarkable achievement by Benedict J. Jones and Anthony Watson, a novel that somehow manages to harness the energy, fast-paced action and punchy plot-lines of the old Commando and Battle comics while artfully blending it together with skilful, often sublime prose, an intense atmosphere that deftly varies between stories, and the horrifying and unsettling sense of imagination that Jones and Watson have demonstrated in their previous titles.”

“Berserker: Green Hell is one of the best Military Horror novels I’ve ever read, and deserves to be read and re-read by fans of the genre; it’s also absolutely begging for a sequel, and I can only hope that with its re-release we’ll be seeing more of Pinny and further explore the fascinating world-building Franklin started in the novel.”

“Around the Dark Dial is one of the most original, engaging and memorable collections of science-fiction stories that I have read in a very long time, and a frankly incredible achievement by author J.D. Sanderson. With each of the eleven stories in the collection, Sanderson uses his wit, boundless imagination and vivid writing style to deftly bring to the written page the feeling of listening to one of those period radio dramas…”

“The Creeping Void is an incredibly effective piece of post-apocalyptic fiction by Tim Mendees – atmospheric, unsettling and often refreshingly original in its outlook and updating of stale genre tropes. Populated with unique characters, genuinely terrifying monsters, and an original setting rarely seen in other titles in the genre, it’s a lightning-quick and utterly memorable read…”

“Autotomy Cocktail is a potent blend of body horror and bizarro horror, with just a dash of dark, bleak humour to make it stand out even further to the reader. “

“Packed with intense, brutal action scenes, deeply affecting emotional twists, and thought-provoking philosophical questions, The Samaritan is a novel that relentlessly burrows into your psyche and never lets up for a second until that last, harrowing paragraph that will leave you feeling hollow and emptied out. With the publication of The Samaritan Dave Jeffery has ensured that his name is synonymous with British post-apocalyptic fiction, and has decisively proven that he and that genre are one and the same…”

“Action-packed, imaginative and often laugh-out-loud hilarious, and demonstrating far more depth of character and thought than its many other competitors in the Comedic Science-Fiction genre, Shakedowners is a superb achievement by Justin Wooley. A comical love-letter to both the science-fiction genre as a whole, and Star Trek in particular, it’s a must-read novel for science-fiction fans, as Wooley deftly draws you into the complex and intriguing universe that he’s skilfully developed…”
