SELECTED REVIEWS

The Green Man's Heir by Juliet E. McKenna

"… any way you look at it, the book is a delight from start to finish. […] It's one of my favorite books so far this year."

– Charles de Lint in Fantasy and Science Fiction

Fight Like a Girl: Vol. 2 by Roz Clarke and Joanne Hall

"…a host of excellent authors delivering intelligent and hugely enjoyable stories to push that conversation onwards."

– Runalong Womble, Runalong the Shelves

Devil Inside by Tom Lloyd

"Thoroughly satisfying read, with supernatural creepiness, some interesting angles on contemporary fantasy trends, and characters with enough sharp edges and blind spots to keep you wondering which way things are going to go... I'm very much hoping to read more."

– Juliet E. McKenna, author of THE GREEN MAN series

The Violent Century by Lavie Tidhar

"Like Watchmen on crack."

– io9

The Anechoic Chamber by Will Wiles

"Wiles is smart and his stories are smart. 'A Private Square of Sky' feels like an intellectual reboot of Mark Danielewski's House of Leaves. 'Notes on London's Housing Crisis' could have come from the hand of William Gibson. 'Moths' (which concerns a sort of photographic ailment spreading from image to image) feels like the kind of thing Sapphire & Steel would have investigated once upon a time. There are other stories here every bit as good as the ones we've mentioned here. The Anechoic Chamber is very much an all-killer no filler read."

– Bookmunch

The Hungry Gods by Adrian Tchaikovsky

"Like something H. Beam Piper or James Schmitz or Christopher Anvil or Harry Harrison might have dreamed up in their prime."

– Locus

The Age of Ra by James Lovegrove

"However you label it, it's great stuff. Mr. Lovegrove is one of the best writers out there... Highly, highly recommended."

– The Fantasy Book Critic

The Great West Wood by Philip Palmer

"Philip Palmer's The Great West Wood is that rare novel which feels both startlingly original and yet rooted in a mythic tradition as old as Britain itself….[his] writing is alive with energy, wit, and menace."

– SF Crowsnest

The Hamlet by Joanna Corrance

"The Hamlet takes the reader on a surreal tour of a small community as they get to know their true selves in the height of a national emergency. With vividly drawn characters, and a strange and compelling narrative, this part body horror, part fairy tale novella marks Joanna Corrance as a writer to watch. I can't wait to see what she does next."

– Sarah Pinborough

Make-Believe and Artifice by Rose Biggin

"Effervescent, artful and joyfully mischievous, Make Believe and Artifice dances with the reader at every page. Rose Biggin is a fabulous writer."

– E.J. Swift

The Last Ghost and Other Stories by Marie O’Regan

"Ghost stories are dead, once said a critic. I disagree. Ghosts are alive and well in books like The Last Ghost and Other Stories. I recommend you give it a read. Before it's too late."

– Cemetery Dance

A Woman of the Sword by Anna Smith Spark

"A Woman of the Sword is a tragic masterpiece, reaffirming Anna Smith Spark's reign as the queen of grimdark … a must-read. 5/5"

– John Mauro, Before We Go Blog

The Light Ages by Ian R. MacLeod

"MacLeod is set to become a writer of the magnitude of Dickens or Tolkien."

– The Guardian

The Broken Land by Ian McDonald

"At once disturbing and beautiful . . . superbly realized."

– The Times (London)
