Product Description

Ed Bryant for Locus reviewing
..... thoroughly Lovecraftian in its Eldritch horror.

Lisa DuMond for SF Site and MEviews.com.
....a vision strong enough to add new life to Lovecraft¹s rather creaky monstrosities

4.0 out of 5 stars A great collection of Highland Horror!, 24 Aug 2001
By Gary Nicklin (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is a short story collection of 28 tales of horror set in Scotland. The stories range from ghostly tales with a twist in the final paragraph to gory fables recalling the myths and heroes of Scottish history and legend. Add to this some tales based around Lovecraft's C'thulhu mythos and you have something for everyone.

Interestingly, there are a couple of stories which have resurfaced as chapters in Meikle's vampire novel 'The Book of the Dark' which is also well worth a read.

I enjoyed The Johnson Amulet immensely and I have to say that my favourite story from the collection was also the shortest, called 'The Worst Sound'. Short, complete and with a final line that I'll never forget!

4.0 out of 5 stars Prepare to Be Unsettled!, 21 Aug 2001
By R. Murray "Richie Murray" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This collection of twenty-eight paranormal and supernatural tales brings together the best of the author's short stories to date.

While never subjecting the reader to out-and-out shock, the author is particularly effective at creating unsettling atmospheres. Sometimes these involve the supernatural resolution of abuse or injustice, as in 'An Early Frost' or 'Animal, Vegetable or Mineral'. Sometimes it is by painting a haunting, word-tone picture of a remote Scottish location as in 'Wee Robbie', which is probably the highlight of the collection.

(This review is based on the paperback version of the book.)
