“Ultimately, Wrath of N’Kai is yet more evidence, were it needed, that Reynolds is the reigning master of the occult detective genre. There is no-one who does it better, and Wrath of N’Kai should take pride of place in anyone’s occult horror collection.”

Tales of The Al-Azif – Matthew Davenport & C.T. Phipps (eds.) – Review
“Hugely accomplished and demonstrating a fresh angle on the genre, Tales of the Al-Aziz is a crucial Cthulhu Mythos anthology for those with even a passing interest in Lovecraft’s creations, and the genre as a whole.”
Orford Parish Books (Orford Parish Murder Houses; 3 Moves of Doom; Old Gory) – Mega-Review
