Certainly not everyone’s cup of tea but these violent and in many ways disturbing stories are excellently constructed.

Bad Dreams brings forth a new world which, it feels, draws you to it much like the many victims of the story.

Bloody Students for all its fantastical outrage doesn’t feel like a vast stretch from our own world. You could almost paint this canvas onto any biomedical research university. That I guess is the power of the writing.

Well done Kim Newman.
