• School Library Journal reviews THE BEST HORROR OF THE YEAR, VOL. 1 edited by Ellen Datlow: – "This collection is not to be missed."
• The SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER reviews HOUSE OF WINDOWS by John Langan: – "House of Windows is a remarkably engaging synthesis of the themes of Charles Dickens, ubiquitous tales of terror such as 'The Monkey's Paw' and classic works of horror by Shirley Jackson, M.R. James and H.P. Lovecraft. To the author's credit, it does not read like a scholarly work, but a believable exploration of human weakness and parental grief. In the best horror tradition, John Langan creates a plausible landscape with recognizable characters in order to convince us of the possibility of the supernatural in every day life."
