Dirt Upon My Skin – Steve Toase – Review

“Dirt Upon My Skin is an absolutely incredible accomplishment, being one of the best collections of British horror that I have ever read in my career as a reviewer of horror fiction; and marks Steve Toase as an up-and-coming master of British Horror. I will follow his career and future works with great interest, and hope that his collaboration with Black Shuck Books will not be his last.”

Richter’s War: Case of the Japanese Alien/Richter’s War: Case of the Lady Crow – Daniel P. Douglas – Quick Review

“Richter’s War: Case of the Japanese Alien and Richter’s War: Case of the Lady Crow are two of the best pieces of alternate history/supernatural history short fiction that I’ve read in quite some time. Well-written, action-packed and featuring a protagonist I’d like to see more of in the future, they tickled a part of my brain that rarely gets touched these days[…]I cannot recommend them enough to those interested in supernatural and/or historical fiction”

They Never Find The Bodies In Whispering Pines – Sean Malia Thompson – Review

“Taken altogether, They Never Find The Bodies In Whispering Pines is a slow-burning, transgressive and ultimately deeply disconcerting horror novel that succeeds in keeping the reader off-balance and uncertain until its final pages. There’s blood and guts and dead bodies galore in some sections, but they’re interlaced with much more intimate and personal horrors that are just as memorable and terrifying – and it highlights just how talented Thompson is as a writer that he manages to develop both and bring them together into one novel. It’s a superb piece of horror fiction, and I look forward to seeing what Thompson and Nictitating Books come up with in the future.”
