TWELVE MORE SPOOKY TALES BY REGGIE OLIVER

In a rather short amount of time, Reggie Oliver has become one of my all-time favorite horror writers. I previously covered the first eight stories of his which I’d ever read a while back ( https://horrordelve.com/2019/05/19/the-eerie-tales-of-reggie-oliver/ ) and want to continue that on by looking at twelve more I’ve read since that time. My friend […]

Hailing from England, Paul Finch is a bestselling author, script writer and editor. Having worked as both a cop and journalist in the past, he now spends his days as a full-time author with a list of crime, thriller, science fiction and horror publications too long for me to list here.

TERROR TALES OF WALES REVIEW

Continuing my recent trend of reading my way through various volumes of the Terror Tales series of anthologies edited by Paul Finch, I now bring forth yet another review, this time in the form of Terror Tales of Wales (2014). There were two predominant themes I noticed in this one. Several of the stories centered […]

NEAR ZENNOR BY ELIZABETH HAND REVIEW

Jay Rothermel recently suggested I read the Elizabeth Hand novella Near Zennor citing it as being nearly perfect. Knowing Jay has excellent taste and the fact that I already had a book on my shelf containing it (The Years Best Dark Fantasy and Horror 2012), I gave it a read. You can read Jay’s excellent […]

ALGERNON BLACKWOOD STORIES PART III

Algernon Blackwood has long been one of my favorite authors. He’s probably best known for such works as “The Willows”, “Wendigo”, “Ancient Sorceries”, and “Ancient Lights”. Each of those tales are true classics of the genre, but there are many more which don’t receive the same consideration. Personally, I adore “The Glamour of Snow”, “Secret […]

10 MORE E. F. BENSON EERIE TALES

E. F. Benson has long been one of my favorite ghost story/weird fiction writers. His expansive index of spooky tales are as diverse as they are inventive. Although he’s not been entirely forgotten these days, I do feel he’s under-appreciated and deserves to be considered among the all time greats alongside Campbell, Blackwood, and Lovecraft. […]
