Excellent review of Mike Chinn's collection Radix Omnium Malum on the sfcrowsnest website by Pauline Morgan.

"Some of the stories in this volume need to be read more than once to find the subtleties in the storytelling but, for anyone who wants to spend time with the uncanny and horrific, they will find this volume contains gems."

Benjamin Blake's poetry collection Standing on the Threshold of Madness reviewed on Hellnotes

Brian James Lewis gives a first-rate review of Benjamin Blake's poetry collection, Standing on the Threshold of Madness, on the hellnotes website.

"I don’t think there’s much question as to how I feel about Standing on the Threshold of Madness by Benjamin Blake. But let me just confirm that I really enjoyed reading this awesome collection of poems. In fact, I keep it nearby so that I can dip into the pages occasionally for a fix. If you groove on speculative fiction, the weird, the dark places – you’re going to dig this collection! The flow is great and the subject matter is right."

Bejamin's book is available both as a trade paperback and an ebook.

Two New Reviews of Erik Hofstatter's The Crabian Heart

There have been two more great reviews of Erik Hofstatter's highly acclaimed collection, The Crabian Heart.

The first,  On Cedar Hollow Horror Reviews, says: "The Crabian Heart grabs you by the pincers and doesn't let go until the last page. The reader can sense the impending danger, and that doom becomes more evident with every turn of the page. Erik can scare you with a short story or a novella. He is great with both forms. The reader can never predict the outcome of Erik's stories. When you are expecting a right jab, Erik hits you with a left hook right in the feels. The Crabian Heart will creep up on you in the best way. I will never look at crabs the same way again."

The second, on the Horror Maiden's Book Review site, says: "I thoroughly enjoyed the creeping sense of dread that permeates the melancholy atmosphere of this novella. A solid 4 star read."
