Horror Reanimated… the home of Bloody Books

Garbage Man and The Kill Crew: Reviews, interviews, podcasts & news by JD’L

April 26th, 2009

Reviews of Garbage Man are arriving from around the world.

Before you spend your hard earned lucre on a copy – especially if you’re obliged to pay postage from the UK – you might want to check some of these opinions out. I present them in roughly the order they arrived, the most recent at the end.

They don’t all agree…

Andy Remic, author of Biohell – “Leads the reader by the hand then breaks his arm with a grin. Masterful.”

Geoff Nelder, editor of Escape Velocity – “D’Lacey has imagination to the nth power.”

Total Quality Reading made a lot of criticisms but asked me to respond!

B Through Z – “One of the best horror writers to come out of Britain in recent memory.”

The Bone Breaker – “[not] as powerful as MEAT.”

The Novel Blog – “Exciting…Genre busting…[Joseph D’Lacey] writes stories like no other.”

My Favourite Books – “Its touch lingers long after you’ve turned the lights off…” MFB interviewed me too.

Bookgeeks – “Fast becoming the master of contemporary eco-horror.”

Horrorscope – “A lot more flaws than D’Lacey’s debut…”

Killer Works – “The perfect cautionary tale for Earth Day!”

Fatally Yours – “Eco-horror is poised to be the next big thing…D’Lacey is at the forefront.”

Monster Librarian – “A master of story telling.”

Dark Fiction Review – “Brutally exposes a darker side to our natures.”

Bill and I read from The Absence and Garbage Man at Eastercon a couple of weeks ago – alongside giant of the genre Ramsey Campbell! Paul Maclean from Yog Radio recorded it for his Podcast.

Reviews of my first American publication The Kill Crew (Stone Garden Publishing) have also begun to appear. The novella comes out on 10^th August and will be available from The Book Depository who won’t charge you postage from the States!

Here are some early impressions…

British Fantasy Society – “…Exceptionally thrilling…Anyone who enjoys survival horror will find this very satisfying.”

Monster Librarian – “Brimming with emotion, adventure and horror.”

The Goats of Baal – “Compulsive and confrontational.”

The Bone Breaker – “An awesome read!”

Horror Reviewer – “A Kicker.”

More reviews, interviews and podcasts are coming very soon as well as a finalised Horror Reanimated tour itinerary.

Meanwhile, my sincere thanks to everyone who’s taken the time to read and review my fiction and even take the risky step of interviewing me!
