PRAISE FOR ALAN BAXTER
“Alan Baxter is an accomplished storyteller who ably evokes magic and menace.”
“Baxter delivers the horror goods.”
“Step into the ring with Alan Baxter, I dare you. He writes with the grace, precision, and swift brutality of a prizefighter.”
“Alan Baxter’s fiction is dark, disturbing, hard-hitting and heart-breakingly honest. He reflects on worlds known and unknown with compassion, and demonstrates an almost second-sight into human behaviour.”
“…if Stephen King and Jim Butcher ever had a love child then it would be Alan Baxter.”
“Baxter draws you along a knife’s edge of tension from the first page to the last, leaving your heart thumping and sweat on your brow.”
