“An epic, swashbuckling Napoleonic adventure expertly blended with chilling Lovecraftian horror…”

“Operation: Loch Ness is yet another coup from the pen of William Meikle, and by far the best entry yet in the series. Some fantastic and pulse-pounding action scenes, atmosphere and tension so thick you could cut it with a knife, and another well-researched and vividly-imagined cryptid beastie all come together to form another classic in the ‘creature feature’ genre”

“Superbly written, well-paced and with some real cutting-edge humour and satire mixed in with slow-burn tension and a bloody finale, Cold Dead Hands is a must-have addition to any horror fan’s collection.”

“Exhibiting his usual high level of writing skill and innate understanding of how to engage his readers and ensure that they rapidly buy into the scenario that he is depicting, Harmer-Barnes has created another winning title that comes across as a Hammer Horror film that never was, tapping into that vein of quiet, creeping and deeply atmospheric horror that he then escalates into a situation that is downright terrifying for characters and readers alike.”

“Ultimately Letters of Decline is a unique blend of weird horror, conspiracy theories and cutting satire of the bland and soulless nature of the corporate mindset that is a must-read for fans of strange, weird and unsettling horror,and for anyone that has worked in even a mid-sized corporate body….”

“The Three Scrooges is no less than an epic reworking of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and a fascinating idea – to use time-travel as a device for delving deeper into the character, personality and history of one of fiction’s most famous characters, Ebenezer Scrooge….”

“Polar Melt is another brilliant accomplishment by Martin Roy Hill, once again demonstrating his undeniable skill as a writer; excellent writing, a highly imaginative and exciting plot, and gripping nautical action sequences all merge together to create a first-rate military action thriller that’s a sure-fire hit”

“It’s perhaps the best piece of cult-based Horror writing I’ve ever come across, and most certainly Hayward’s finest work to date; indeed, I’d go so far as to say that with The Faithful Hayward has forged his way to the head of the latest generation of Horror writers, developing a distinctive voice and writing style that I am incredibly eager to see developed in further work…”

“Raven’s Sword [is] one of the best pieces of historical fiction I’ve ever read, somehow even managing to better its predecessor…”

“Skillfully plotted and written, with some absolutely amazing prose work to be found within its covers, not to mention a deliciously and outrageously over-the-top subversion of the tropes and cliches of ‘Satanic Panic’ conspiracy theories that swept across the United States of America in the 1970s and 1980s, Kill for Satan! is one of the most bizarre, outrageous and, above all, captivating pieces of horror fiction I’ve come across in 2018…”

“There’s a fantastically detailed and richly imagined world to be found in Iron, and I’m genuinely amazed at the amount of thought Flinthart has put into it, resulting in consistently high-quality world building that truly brings the novel to life, and surpasses that many other authors that I’ve read over the years. Add to all of that excellent writing and some great action scenes, and you have a superb piece of science-fiction and fantasy fiction by an immensely talented author.”

“The Last President is an excellent piece of speculative fiction yet simultaneously also a warning – a glimpse of a disturbing yet worryingly realistic future that may come about if we aren’t incredibly careful…”

“Overall, The Lost World of Kharamu is fast-paced, action-packed and generally hugely enjoyable – like a more realistic and even more action-packed version of Jurassic Park…”

“A Deep Horror That Was Very Nearly Awe is, to me, such an atypical collection of weird horror stories. It discomforts, challenges and refuses to mollycoddle the reader, instead unleashing a torrent of brilliantly-written, intensely imaginative stories that are embedded in the vagaries and horrors to be found in the human condition…”
