Eric Ian Steele's movie The Student reviewed

There's an excellent review of The Student (2017) a new movie co-scripted by Eric Ian Steele, whose short story collection, Nightscape, has just been published by Parallel Universe Publications.

"There’s a surprising amount of depth to The Student, a film that easily could have puts all it eggs in the love sick basket, especially given the ages of the two leads, but Monroe, helming Irene Majcher and Eric Steele‘s pretty solid script, avoids these clichés altogether and instead finds plausibility in other ways, with a vengeance story that ticks along at a great pace."

Fishhead: The Darker Tales of Irvin S. Cobb reviewed by the British Fantasy Society

Fishhead: The Darker Tales of Irvin S. Cobb has just been reviewed on the British Fantasy Society website by Sandra Scholes.

"...his stories like Lovecraft’s are dark, doomy and intense at times. His characters want a life of their own in a strange setting, trying to resist their fate even if they can’t change what life has already been chosen for them. There is a sense of fear of the future in some of the darker stories, so it’s great that there is some humour in the rest of them."

About the book:

Devil worshippers stalk the ageing boards of Blackpool Pier, a scrap-yard automaton devours the souls of lost children, and a murderous priest hunts an ancient she-demon through the streets of New York.
A selection of horror stories to chill the blood, featuring revenant felines, garbage-eating clairvoyants, flesh-eating magpies and a severed head with murder in mind.

‘A remarkable and substantial story… neatly absurd, particularly in its very satisfying ending.’

D. F. Lewis on Unexploded Girlfriends

‘Like Jules Verne on crystal meth - incredibly intense and severely alarming.’

Ursula K. Raphael on Fish Out of Water

‘This reviewer’s personal favourite… clever and engaging.’

Fangoria Magazine on Why The Wild Things Are

‘It’s an impressive debut.’
