Spinetinglers.com has given this collection of Supernatural Horror Fiction a four star review and shortlisted it for its 2009 Book of the Year! In the lead-off novella, "Victor Chaldean and the Portal," the title character has grown frustrated and desperate in his attempts to solve the mysterious disappearance of his wife. When he begins having strange visions, he accepts the aid of a psychologist studying the paranormal. This leads him on a journey of discovery and arcane knowledge of realms beyond the simple realities of life and death. The novella is followed by seven stories, all of them finding their protagonists "On the Verge of Madness" . . .

Mirrors are fascinating. They reflect everything accurately the things that are in front of them, or do they? Scientists were at one time attempting to create a mirror which showed everything the way the viewer would see it, not the back-to-front reflection we are used to. Quite what that would do to our minds is anyone's guess… Mirrors can be menacing. They can reveal our innermost fears – sometimes showing us those fears in ghastly and horrific forms. Mirrors can speak, according to the fairy tale, giving the viewer what she wanted up to a point, until it no longer became the truth. Mirrors hold many secrets. This anthology reveals some of those secrets and horrors as the talented writers who have allowed me to use their work explore in tales of woe, blood, gore and murder. Here are the real nasties hiding behind the silvered backs of seemingly innocuous mirrors. Look in them at your peril.

Not everything happens a long way from home... most horrors happen right on the doorstep or at least as far as next door... again, the talented Thirteen Press authors let their imaginations run riot on this one. Watch out for your neighbours, they might have read this book before you...

Sci-fi fan or not, aliens hold a fascination for humans. The mystery of UFOs, the thought they may walk among us without us knowing, the thought they may be watching us all the time... these things ensure that we, as a race, are absorbed with thoughts of ‘aliens’, however they might show themselves. In giving Thirteen’s talented writers a theme like that, it was guaranteed that the stories which came in would cover every possible interpretation of the alien theme that you can imagine, and then some. Walk some strange pathways, read some strange stories, discover some strange aliens... Check out more Thirteen Press & Horrified Press titles here: horrifiedpress.wordpress.com

What lies beneath brought out a whole range of themes from talented writers as they interpreted it both literally and metaphorically. The stories are wildly different, every one of them worthy of their place in this anthology. If any of them make you wonder just what lies beneath… your home, your work place, your vacation resort… then it will have half done its job. If you like reading it, as you should, then it will have done its job. Enjoy! Check out more Horrified Press & Thirteen Press titles here: horrifiedpress.wordpress.com
