Reviews

[Hugo · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very solid collection of horror stories, and not a dud in the bunch, all centred around British decay and decline, crime and homelessness, urban blight—a book a quarter of a century old and as depressingly relevant now as then. (Pete Crowther's final story—good as it is—is an odd fit, about as drenched in Americana as you could imagine, so a strange choice to end the book on.)

[Jeannie Sloan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am always hesitant to read a book made for charity but this book does not disappoint.The stories are interesting and rich in prose.
Overall a keeper.
