Fear magazine - Book review and full-page ad

In the latest issue of Fear magazine (#38, October 2016), Parallel Universe Publications has another full-page ad, plus an absolutely brilliant review of Ezeiyoke Chukwunonso's short story collection,  Haunted Grave and Other Stories.

"Mature, intelligent and seriously scary, let's be upfront about a collection of short stories that will, without doubt, launch its author into the big league... In just one anthology, and that from a small press outlet, Ezeiyoke Chukwunonso demonstrates that with perseverance and talent you can make a literary impact on all those who read your work. Congratulations to Parallel Universe for unleashing this author on the world, though I suspect, with respect, that he is destined for much bigger international audiences."

For the full review please get hold of a copy of Fear - it's a great magazine anyway, with some fascinating and insightful articles!

Great review of Ezeiyoke Chukwunonso's story "The Last Man Standing"

In a review of the anthology Future Lovecraft by Matthew J. Constantine, Ezeiyoke Chukwunonso's story The Last Man Standing was highlighted as the best in the book:

"And the best story in the book, though a story I think didn’t fit in the anthology, was ‘The Last Man Standing,’ by Ezeiyoke Chukwunonso.  I could have seen this in any of a dozen apocalyptic anthologies I’ve read, but I didn’t read Lovecraft in it at all.  Still, a darned fine story...

I can’t really recommend the book.  There’s just not enough good, or good enough to go out of your way to read.  But I would seek out Chukwunonso’s story.  He’s someone to keep your eye out for; a clear talent."

The Last Man Standing is included in Haunted Grave and Other Stories, published by Parallel Universe Publications.
