Synopsis

What the critics are saying:
"...[Moore's] work is not quite like that of anybody else. He is a true original...and if you are looking for something different, then I can't recommend this collection highly enough." Peter Tennant
 "Tired of the usual suspects? Bored with the same old genre clichés? Then follow my advice and read Ralph Robert Moore, a hell of a writer whose work is provocative and refreshing, never ordinary, always imaginative and graced by a compelling narrative style." Mario Guslandi
 "Unusual, erotic, frightening and stunningly good...This collection showcases the wide and versatile range of [Moore's] work...these stories capture the extremes of human experience. The writing is tight and uncompromising." Trevor Denyer

"I Smell Blood, Ralph Robert Moore's second short fiction collection, reinforces his reputation, amongst those in the know, that here we have a genre-storytelling giant in our midst." - AJ Kirby

"Tired of the usual suspects? Bored with the same old genre clichés? Then follow my advice and read Ralph Robert Moore, a hell of a writer whose work is provocative and refreshing, never ordinary, always imaginative and graced by a compelling narrative style...Moore has all the features of a great writer: he conceives original plots, creates credible characters and makes them speak plausible dialogues, and, most of all, is a terrific storyteller. Try him, you won't regret it." - Mario Guslandi

"An excellent writer." - Gary McMahon
