Praise for The DMA Casefiles:
"THOMAS SHOWS AGAIN WHAT A MASTER FANTIST HE IS." - Sam Tomanio. SFRevu
"As much as I wanted to hide my eyes behind my hands, peeking through the slits of my fingers, I could not help but continue reading... Thomas mixes ancient lore with what I like to call keyhole terror. The effect is a breakneck ride through established myths with full-bodied characters, while glimpsing the effects of horror through a keyhole, not in your face blood and gore, but the hint of its occurrence. Just enough scare to set the scene, the reader assumes the rest. The effect is one hell of a ride... Recommended for readers who like dark fantasy with a subtle twist of terror." - Rae Bryant, The Fix
