What They're Saying
Critics Review
The eclectic mix of stories … blends traditional spooky horror and supernatural sci-fi * Irish Examiner *
John Connolly doesn’t often write short stories - just two collections in a 30-plus year writing career - but when he does, he proves he is a master of the genre * Irish Independent *
Beautifully written short stories … written with a gentle humour and almost a reverence for books and their characters … These are the stories where the strange becomes acceptable and though the hairs on the back of one’s neck may be prickling; the brain is prepared to countenance what it perceives * Live & Deadly *
Nine stories which are … masterclasses of the form … John Connolly is Ireland’s Richard Matheson and the foremost purveyor of the genre mash-up, but as Horror Express demonstrates, he has a flair for biographies, too * Starburst Magazine *
Captivating * Afterword *
