Simon Clark recommends

Faith In The Flesh (1998)
Tim Lebbon
"Tim Lebbon's consistently first-rate stories crackle with invention and surprises galore, then they grab you by the scruff of your neck."

Quicksilver Rising (2003)
(Quicksilver, book 1)
Stan Nicholls
"Nicholls writes in a beautiful sensuous style that perfectly compliments this page-turning fantasy."

Rage (2004)
Steve Gerlach
"Gerlach's RAGE is a volcano of a story that builds from deceptively quiet beginnings to an incandescent eruption of violence. This tale of one man's smouldering, malignant rage at society is a potent one."

Demon Dance (2010)
(Vampire Gene Trilogy, book 3)
Sam Stone
"Enticing, shocking and delightful."

The Ghost Club (2017)
William Meikle
"William Meikle has an uncanny talent capturing the style of so many great authors of yesteryear. The Ghost Club superbly demonstrates that talent again."

Paper Children (2019)
(Phoebe Harkness, book 3)
James Fahy
"intelligently crafted horror-thriller...absolutely engrossing; left me wanting more."
