John Llewellyn Probert is one of those writers for whom the story
is everything. There may be serious concerns at back of his
fiction... but if so they are always subordinate to the demands of
the story, the need to keep the reader turning pages. First and
foremost, Probert is an entertainer... imagination and audacity
count for as much if not more than credibility... -- Peter
Tennant
The delightfully wicked Mr Probert wields his prose like a scalpel.
His imagination is impressively warped and gruesome, and yet his
tales have an unrepentantly English reticence. There's dark humour
here, and unexpected poignancy -- indeed, the book is as full of
surprises as the man himself. Horror is lucky to have him. --
Ramsey Campbell
