Skayne: Reviewing the ghost stories


I'm delighted to report that the excellent Paul Simpson of the website Sci-Fi Bulletin has reviewed individually all six of the tales which make up the ghost story sequence SKAYNE.

He's been remarkably generous, calling them "insidiously creepy", suggesting that "Barnes skilfully builds the atmosphere" and writing that "each resounds in the mind afterwards for different reasons".

You can read the reviews at the SFB website, via the links below:
