Praise for Tim Lebbon:"Lebbon' s care for words and attention to detail proves to be profoundly rewarding. . . This is one of the finest-if not the finest-film tie-ins I' ve read in years. " - HorrorNovelReviews. com"The action starts early, it has really fantastic characters and the writing is superb. " - Tracing the Stars"This first entry in a series of books exploring and expanding the world of Alien is quite fascinating. . . I personally can' t wait for the next installment and see where it goes from here. " - GNN "Lebbon is an amazing story teller. . . Alien: Out of the Shadows is a damn fine book and if you can sit back and enjoy this new Alien tale for what it is, you won' t be disappointed. " - Ravenous Monster"Out of the Shadows is a superbly paced blend of all the good elements of the first two films. Fans will have a blast meeting Ripley again, not to mention immersing themselves once again in the bleak, claustrophobic atmosphere of this unique mythos. " - The HellforgePraise for James A. Moore:"His work stands toe-to-toe with the best of King, Koontz, and McCammon. " - Cemetery Dance Weekly"Moore brings his considerable storytelling talent to bear in this chillingly gory tale. " - Library Journal (review of Blood Red)"Moore may be one of the best kept secrets in horror fiction, but the secret is finally getting out. " -Chronicle"Will become a classic like Stephen King' s Salem' s Lot. Moore is one of the grandmasters of the horror genre. " - Midwest Book Review (for Blood Red)Praise for Christopher Golden:"Wildwood Road is a brilliant novel of supernatural suspense that reminded me of the early classics by Ira Levin-think Rosemary' s Baby and you won' t be disappointed. This one' s a keeper. " - Stephen King"A good horror novel needs to be a good novel first, with a strong plot, interesting characters, and vivid and evocative writing. Golden delivers all of that in spades in Wildwood Road, the best ghost story I have read since. . . well, since the last time Stephen King wrote one. " - George R. R. Martin"A new book by Chris Golden means only one thing: the reader is in for a treat. His books are rich with texture and character, always inventive, and totally addictive. " - Charles de Lint, author of Widdershins and The Onion Girl"Golden is one of the most hard-working, smartest, and talented writers of his generation. . . Everything he writes glows with imagination. " - Peter Straub, author of Ghost Story and The Talisman (with Stephen King)"A master of horror. . . Christopher Golden proves himself to be a master of his craft. . . Lyric, fluid, and mesmerizing. . .
