Raves and Reviews
Reviews of previous anthologies edited by Paul and Marie.
‘The Mammoth book of Body Horror deserves a place on your bookshelf, but make sure it’s well away from kids and those of a fragile disposition.’ (Starburst, 10/10 review)
‘An impressive collection… Exit Wounds proves how excellent crime short stories can be!’ (The Times)
‘The quality of the 19 entries is top-notch... Every entry is well-written, suspenseful, and peopled with fully developed characters – a tribute to the editors’ judgment.’ (Starred, featured review of Exit Wounds in Publishers Weekly
Overall, Wonderland is a really interesting collection of tales, one that will amuse fans of Alice and genre fiction alike.’ (Starburst magazine)
‘O’Regan and Kane have pulled the anthology together as only editors with consummate skill and experience can, and in terms of style and delivery, there really is something for everyone. It will be good to see The Other Side of Never take flight in the real world. There is certainly enough here to get anyone “hooked”. Highly recommended.’ (The British Fantasy Society)
