What other are saying about the work of C. L. Phillips:

In this anthology of nine stories, Phillips delivered chillingly weird fiction and ghost stories swirled with horror that show sophistication in the craft of writing. The stories are organized expertly, with "Figures in the Forest" and "Panacea" bookending the collection nicely. Each story showcases a different literary element: the first story uses setting, the fourth story uses characterization, the sixth story uses theme, the eighth story uses plot. The language in the third story is wonderfully lyrical, especially the description of Arkham, Miskatonic University, and the library, giving Lovecraft fans a lot to enjoy. Each is satisfying as a stand-alone, but when read together they are an especially entertaining escape. The wrapping of the cover image, especially across the spine, provides ideal packaging for this well-written collection. More please Keep writing

"C.L. Phillips delves into the familiar depths of Lovecraft and Poe, but unlike other authors who seem to keep finding the same old rotting corpses, Phillips finds fresh bodies electrified by a keen pen and uncommon insight into what we fear...and love. This collection is one of my favorites and belongs on any horror lover's bookshelf."
