“Quite frankly, Horrorama is nothing less than the Gold-Standard for Grindhouse Horror Fiction, and I really look forward to seeing what Hunt and Grindhouse Press come up with next; whatever it is, I’ll certainly be there watching…”

“Powerfully written, with a gripping and quietly terrifying atmosphere that becomes more and more unsettling as the story progresses and time unwinds, and based around an emotional core that is perfectly judged and immensely powerful, M.I.C.H.A.E.L is an incredibly impressive piece of short horror fiction…”

“Screaming Creatures is undeniable proof that, when one considers the state of the Weird Horror subgenre, one cannot speak about its leading lights without now listing Sean M. Thompson alongside writers like Gemma Files, Jonathan Raab and Matthew M. Bartlett. There’s a unique signature that runs throughout all of the stories within the collection, an eerie and deeply unsettling sense of wrongness that only Thompson is able to evoke with such clarity, and an often philosophical air that gives his stories that distinctive edge to them…”

“Drawing deeply from the darkest recesses of the human psyche, and demonstrating a keen eye for the fragile and insubstantial nature of the human condition, Christopher Stanley has created a haunting collection of horror stories in Unbecoming Me & Other Interruptions…”

“Taken together, Murder in Jerusalem and Little Greys are two solid short stories that demonstrate Leone’s range and skill as a writer, and his prodigious and deeply impressive imagination.”

“Car Crash Weather is a short but masterful read from author Matthew Tait, the atmosphere, language and superb plotting all demonstrating the clear talent that Tait has as a horror writer, and I certainly intend to seek out more of his works to read and review in the months ahead…”

“Night Voices is a superb collaboration between Frank Duffy and Paul Edwards, and one of the most impressive, accomplished and emotionally affecting collections of horror short fiction I’ve encountered in a very long time reviewing titles in the genre….”

“It’s a deeply impressive achievement by Terry M West, a deftly-written, highly imaginative and often surprisingly philosophical look at the zombie apocalypse through the eyes of two critical yet underappreciated workers…”

“Taken all together, it means that The Eldritch New Adventures of Becky Sharp is as much a work of art as a novel, something to be experienced and savoured as much as read, all for a ridiculously low price for both the ebook and paperback editions. It’s certainly going to be a favourite on my (virtual) bookshelf for quite some time, and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone with an interest in genre mash-ups, classic literature, or the hidden depths of the Cthulhu Mythos…”

“When I interviewed author and editor David Flin earlier in the month here on the blog, his final question looked at what was in his future – and that included the new publishing house he was setting up. Sergeant Frosty Publications will focus on publishing SF, Fantasy, and Historical Fiction titles for Children and Young Adults, and their first tranche of titles are due to launch in early October 2020.

In an exclusive for The Scifi and Fantasy Reviewer, I am now able to reveal the covers and back-cover blurbs for the four titles that make up that initial tranche…”

“Expertly-written and populated with some of the most memorable characters in a fantasy novel that I’ve read in quite some time, and imbued with a bold, thought-provoking and often surprising narrative, with an emotionally powerful ending that’s akin to a fist in the gut, The Doom of Fallowhearth is another first-rate title by author Robbie MacNiven, as well as further proof of the success of Aconyte Books under the keen eye and guidance of editor Charlotte Llewelyn-Wells…”
