The stories in Richard Gavin's latest collection, The Darkly Splendid Realm, are all good but somewhat ambiguous. They tend to run together, especially if you read them all one after the other. Individually, they're fine tales, in particular "Primeval Wood," the longest and best of the bunch! It's just that they can be so depressing, atmospheric and somber, playing with their protagonists' guilt, fears and the like. Not saying that's bad, just that they are all so downbeat that...
Horror Mall is fantastic! I bought separately from both Larry and Shane over the years (Bloodletting and Delirium Books) and now that they've joined forces they're unstoppable. Plus, there's no one more trustworthy to send you your books. They know how much they mean to you because they're small press publishers as well. Keep up the good work, guys!

I would just like to say that both products i ordered from this site came in pristine condition and arrived in the promised time period. This may be the norm for you guys but you would be surprised at some of the problems iv'e had with other sites.
I would not hesitate to order my favorite horror items from you again. Thank you for this wonderful service. You have proved that a customer doesn't have to go through a horror show to get their horror products in a correct fashion. Thanks again.

"A good story connects to the reader on both an emotional and intellectual level. In the case of horror, the emotional and intellectual level is somewhere in the dark recesses of the heart and mind." - Elizabeth Massie
