“Sometimes it can seem that speculative fiction today has become intimidated by big, bold ideas, with few writers willing to take the chance to go, as they say, ‘all in’. In his debut collection of stories, RW Chambers’ “The Hateful Place”, ideas -- big indeed -- are on full display. An example? One story plays with a World War II U-Boat on a strange mission about to trifle in the multi-verse, and time itself, in terrifying and amazing ways. Though not cited in the collection’s thoughtful introduction, I saw elements of John Wyndham here, one of my heroes, as well as the scope of another writer who was mentioned, Harlan Ellison (peace Harlan…mentor to so many of us.) The style is refreshingly crisp, the dialogue crackles and best of all…the tales have clever hooks to keep pulling the reader onwards. In fact, some of these tales seems like that they are ripe for full novel treatment. If we’re lucky, Chambers will do exactly that!”-Matthew Costello, best-selling author of Vacation and Rage
