Easy to read, hard to put down, good mix of genres Hardly any! Might not be everybody's taste

A mix of creepy and unsettling horror that will scare the socks of you Wordy, lacking in gore, the last three stories are more sci-fi/fantasy

Great author, Great book It's not his best by far, it was one of his first though

Epic novel that works on very many levels and is a gripping and enthralling tale Goes on a little too long at times but end result is worth the effort

A cracking debut and a blinder of a horror novel that suffers nothing in translation Ends a bit sudden but does leave things fairly open-ended...

A true horror - grusemoe & disgusting, to be read from behind a cushion. A true horror - grusemoe & disgusting, to be read from behind a cushion.
