After Nightfall & Other Weird Tales reviewed on Hellnotes by Mario Guslandi

 

There is now a great review for After Nightfall & Other Weird Tales on the Hellnotes site by regular reviewer Mario Guslandi.

"A prolific and well respected British horror writer, David A Riley repurposes a bunch of his short stories in a new collection where each tale is graced by dark (and sometimes outright disquieting) illustrations by artist Jim Pitts, which produce further shivers along the reader’s spine..."

Another 5-star review of Swords & Sorceries: Tales of Heroic Fantasy Volume 1


Swords & Sorceries: Tales of Heroic Fantasy Volume 1
received yet another glowing 5-star review on amazon.

"What an enjoyable book. Quality sword and sorcery stories and amazing art by Jim Pitts. The general tone of the book was dark with a few lighter tales. A couple of my favorite stories were by Steve Dilks and Adrian Cole. I would recomend this series to anyone with a love of fantasy. I will be waiting for volume 2"
