'Paul Kane's writing has a style and elegance, he's a first rate storyteller.' ~ Clive Barker - Bestselling author of The Hellbound Heart 'An exceptional volume...

Paul Kane has offered you a dark and contemplative gift.' ~ Christopher Golden - Bestselling author of King Kong 'Paul Kane's fiction shows intelligence and imagination - he's a writer who's going places, and I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!' ~ Sarah Langan - Bestselling author of Audrey's Door 'Definitely a name to watch out for in the future of British Horror fiction.' ~ Graham Joyce - Bestselling author of The Silent Land 'Paul Kane has crafted a nifty little story with that greatest of gifts: the element of surprise.' ~ Mick Garris, Creator of Masters of Horror 'This is one area where Kane shines, his sense of character: each and every one is real, and as such the reader immediately latches onto them...' ~ Dark Horizons
