Urban, Kealan-Patrick Burke, Nicholas Knight, Tom Sweeney, and James S. Dorr Reviews: (from the first edition) "...each more eerie than the previous, spine touching tales of the ghostly, the witchly and the flat out macabre...the best horror you're likely to see this side of King at his best." --Bob Yosco, ShadowKeep, Vol. 2, Issue 5 "From the familiar to the extraordinary, the stories gathered together under the title The Witching Hour are an eclectic assemblage poised to cast individual spells over the reader. While some of the tales are subtle in presentation and underlying message, others make you wish you hadn't peeked out from behind your cushion at just the wrong moment." --Rhiannon West, Simply E-Books "Crones, hags, wise women, midwives and matrons all mingle together in these tales to entrance, enchant, educate, and occasionally--horrify the reader...All in all, this collection of stories contains something for everyone. Romance, horror, magic and mystery mix to present a satisfying read." --Kara L. Wolf, Sime~Gen "...a showcase of "lesser known talent," and that should definitely NOT be confused with "less talent." If you are familiar with genre small-press publications or e-zines, many of the authors' names will be familiar to you." --Chris Welch, Deviant Minds #3 "...you'll be pleased by the quality of selections... The roster reads like a list of the small press's best..." --G. W. Thomas, E-Genre #6 |
