Respected Lovecraftian scholar S. T. Joshi had this to say about Benjamin Blake's collection:
"I was most impressed with Standing on the Threshold of Madness. These dark, brooding vignettes do far more than send a shudder up one's spine (although they do that again and again, with elegance and panache). Benjamin Blake has found a way to infuse into his horrific lyrics a keen sensitivity to human emotions, an understanding of the fragility of life, and a bleak portrayal of the evanescence of all existence. This is a volume that aficionados of weird poetry will want to read over and over." S. T. Joshi.

with a spice
of surrealism.” - Ramsey Campbell
"Language and imagery rule in this
collection of dark visions. Blake has a distinctive voice, rich in surrealism,
and he uses it to considerable effect." - Bruce Boston, SFPA Grandmaster
Poet
“A plethora of dark and haunting poems
that could be likened to a bone chilling symphony overall! Mood enhancing
language that will curdle the blood, and excellent, original imagery!” - Marge
