"There is no doubt that
Stephen Jones is one of the very best anthologists working in the horror and fantasy fields now or in the past."
—John Gilbert, Phantasmagoria Magazine? "[Stephen Jones is] one of the genre's most enthusiastic cheerleaders."
—Publishers Weekly "[Jones is] horror's last maverick."
—Christopher Fowler "Stephen Jones . . . has a better sense of the genre than almost anyone in this country."
—Lisa Tuttle, The Times Books "A new anthology from Stephen Jones is always an event."
—Dennis Etchison "WOW! I remember when books like this one were almost commonplace. Tons of terrific offerings, wonderful black-and-white interior work, solid bindings, sometimes even foil stampings, quality throughout, just the coolest. Great to see this coming out, even more so with Randy Broecker's illustrations!!"
—World Fantasy Award-winning artist Thomas Canty "The best horror anthologist in the business is, of course, Stephen Jones."
—Roz Kavaney, Time Out "Stephen Jones [is] a member of that tiny band of anthologists whose work is so reliably good that you automatically reach out and grab hold of any new volume spotted if you are wise."
—Gahan Wilson, Realms of Fantasy
