For the New Year a great new review of Swords & Sorceries: Tales of Heroic Fantasy Volume 5

A great new review of Swords & Sorceries: Tales of Heroic Fantasy Volume 5 has been posted on amazon.com by Richard Fisher.

"This year winds down with another remarkable collection. Riley opens the anthology with an introduction that has me adding numerous titles to my already unwieldy TBR pile. Many of the authors have appeared in previous installments of this series, but a handful are new. Take a gander at this stellar line up..."

"Eleven stories. Several I enjoyed more than others, but there wasn't a clinker in the bunch"

Great 5-star review for The Fantastical Art of Jim Pitts on amazon

The Fantastical Art of Jim Pitts received it's first 5-star review on amazon from Steve Dilks:

"I first encountered Jim Pitts' work in the anthology, SAVAGE HEROES back in 1983. Along with some glorious gems of stories, I was captivated by his ethereal and bizarre interior artwork. They more than matched the contents which consisted of Clark Ashton Smith, Ramsey Campbell, Henry Kuttner, and others.
In this retrospective, we get a fascinating glimpse into his lengthy career, from the fanzines of the early '70s through to the present day. We also get to see his work for such luminaries as Adrian Cole and Brian Lumley. There are some great pieces written about Jim here, from his long term childhood friends (some of them old band mates!) as well as the afore mentioned Cole and Lumley. Jim did a lot of illustrative work on the legendary semi-professional U.K. publication, FANTASY TALES, which helped launch the career of FANTASY MASTERWORKS editor, Stephen Jones. Jones himself offers up a great insight into those D.I.Y. underground days. This book is packed full of illustrations from the past to the present day and is a great read to boot.
And Jim? Well, he's still getting on with it. Although (officially) retired, his output is as voracious as ever. He still delivers artwork for fanzines that wouldn't be half as good without him as well as providing work on top horror anthology publications. Unlike many artists whose work tapers off after their initial youthful burst, Jim just keeps getting steadily better and better. Without a doubt, this book will need to be updated or we'll need a totally new retrospective in the next ten years."

First review of Nightscape on amazon.com

Eric Ian Steele's Nightscape got an excellent first review on amazon.com by David W. Thompson:

"Eric Ian Steele’s “Nightscape” is a horror anthology well worth your attention. The tales run the gamut from pure conventional horror (City of the Dead) to flirting with science fiction (After the Fall). One, The Musical Box, had a welcome Hitchcock vibe, and Vincent Price absolutely must return to us for a part in “Charlie!” This one starts the reader off with a bang, and leads to an unusual surprise ending.
“Black Annis,” a tale of an ancient witch seeking revenge for the injustices heaped upon her is a personal favorite, but “Indian Summer” is my pick of the litter and is alone worth the price of admission. Mr. Steele does an excellent job with character development and world building, not an easy task for a short story, and his descriptive prose sets the mood for the terror to come!
Many other macabre accounts fill these pages, and if this is your passion, Mr. Steele will not fail to delight."
