Horror Reanimated… the home of Bloody Books

‘The Absence’ Reviews Flooding in!

April 1st, 2009

Reviews have started to flood in for ‘The Absence’, and I’m pleased to report that the word is very, very positive! Check out the links below for the full reviews.

First up we have Fatally Yours -   ‘…no amount of words could ever adequately describe the masterpiece of horror that Hussey has created with ‘The Absence”.

Next, Dark Fiction Review - ‘… a master craftsman of horror.’

Bookgeeks - already quoted on the back cover!

Highlander’s Book reviews -  ‘Reminiscent of “The Shining”… there have been previous claims for Britain’s answer to Stephen King but on the strength of his work so far Bill Hussey richly deserves the comparison.’

Jason ‘the Bonebreaker’, at Mad Ravings of an Entertainment Junkie - ‘So far, the best book of 09!’

Novelist Peter Mark May at Novelblog – ‘a fine teller of English ghost stories.’

And Simon Kurt Unsworth - ‘This is a smart, literate piece of horror fiction.’

These great reviews come on top of previously published pieces by Geoff Nelder (‘Bill Hussey is the new MR James’) and Garry Charles.

I’d like to thank all these reviewers for taking the time to consider the book and posting up their thoughts.

In other news: there are now signed copies of ‘The Absence ‘ in the following London stores: Waterstones Picadilly, Foyles on Tottenham Court Road and Waterstones Holborn.
