Dear All I'm reading a pre-publication version of Franks' forthcoming collection with a view to reviewing it (a review view you might say)and I just want to urge you to get this book when it comes out (from Sideshow Press) because so far it is a powerful multi-layered dark and intense piece of work. It deserves a hearing. Regards Terry |

Frank's collection is highly unsettling. I read an early draft that needed a bit of work done on it but the power of his imagery and all pervading sense of moral and mental decay was very impressive and not a little promising. It reminded me in no small measure of the early works of Ramsey Campbell with a tinge of Joel Lane's urban wasteland of the soul. One to watch for sure. |

No surprise, Frank. You write from the heart and you're a great prose stylist. What more can any writer ask for? Keep it up man. |

"Wordland" Frank! My new e-zine. I'm looking for 1500 words max on the theme of "Twilight" - but no teenage bloody vampires though. Detailed guideines on my we site: http://exaggeratedpress.weebly.com/ Cheers Terry |

I've never read any of Frank's work. Sounds like it could be my kind of thing though. Can you give us a link to details about the book, Frank? I'm getting tempted ... |
