First Amazon Review of Eric Ian Steele's Nightscape

First review on amazon of Eric Ian Steele's collection Nightscape:

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!”...

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."
