Seventh Black Book of Horror review: Page Horrific

Another good review for the Seventh Black Book of Horror has appeared online. Number Eight should be out next year and sadly I didn’t make the pitch.

Heavenmaker or Helldiver

Over thirty years after it’s publication The Heaven Maker emerges again. The novelette is still out of print but I’m grateful to Theo Stylianides who appears to have been inspired by the final paragraph of the story to create a series of artwork and what looks – to my untutored mind – something like an […]

Tales of Three Planets Edgar Rice Burroughs

An unusual collection published long after Burroughs had died. It contains four tales. Jimber-Jaw was initially published in Argosy. The rest have a colourful history.
