About this title

Review

The Reviews are in for the Land of Fright™ series of short horror stories!

"At last, a great collection of unique and different stories. Whilst this is billed as horror, the author managed to steer away from senseless violence and gratuitous gore and instead with artful story telling inspires you to use your own imagination. A great collection. Already looking for other collections... especially loved Kill the Queen (God Save the Queen)." - Amazon UK review for Land of Fright™ Collection I

"This was a great story. Even though it was short I still connected with the main character and was rooting for her. This was an enjoyable short story." - Amazon review for Snowflakes (Land of Fright™ #3)

"Loved the twist. A good short story with a hilarious twist. Great lunch time read." - Amazon review for Trophy Wives (Land of Fright™ #5)

"Pool of Light was such a great story. It gave you just enough information to let your mind take over and it was a story you could read on your break. I liked how it wasn't a typical horror story. Would highly recommend." - Amazon review for Pool of Light (Land of Fright™ #13)

"I enjoyed this quite a bit, but then I enjoy anything set in Pompeii. A horror story is a first, though, and well done. I'm become a fan of the author and so far have enjoyed several of his stories." - Amazon review for Ghosts of Pompeii (Land of Fright™ #14)

"This is the first story I've read by this author and it blew me away! A gripping tale that kept me wondering until the end. Images from this will, I fear, haunt me at unexpected moments for many months to come. Readers, be warned! :)" - Amazon review for Dung Beetles (Land of Fright™ #27)
