R. James, Douglas Clegg can 'write about the vile and horrific without seeming to smear it over himself or you.' Like Shirley Jackson he has an understated precision of language and the ability to portray his characters emotionally in a wickedly effective manner. And, like Stephen King, he loves to tell stories and tells them well. At the same time, Clegg is a thoroughly modern writer.Without doubt, one of the best collections of the year. - DarkEchoEvery story is perfectly different and definitely unlike any other horror novel\/film I've read or watched.all of them have their images that could come back to you in your dreams. - Doubleshot Reviews.Clegg writes some of the most harrowing, unforgettable tales you're ever likely to come upon.
