Recent Reviews — Stephen Gallagher and T.E.D. Klein
Publishers Weekly gives a thumbs up to Stephen Gallagher’s ultra-nasty short novel, The Painted Bride: “British author Gallagher’s unrelenting novel of terror, set on an unprepossessing stretch of English coast, moves at a breakneck pace… Chalk up another winner—-brief, merciless and punchy—for Gallagher.”
And on T.E.D. Klein’s Reassuring Tales: “If most of the nine short stories and one novella in this slim volume read like episodes from the Twilight Zone, this isn’t coincidence, as Klein edited Twilight Zone magazine from 1981 to 1985… The most substantial piece, and the only one that’s truly horrific, is the 1972 novella “The Events at Poroth Farm,” which Klein later expanded into his brilliant first novel, The Ceremonies. This collection will appeal mainly to the author’s longtime fans who patiently await his second novel.”
