"The Silent House and Other Strange Stories" has received its first review from David Longhorn at Supernatural Tales:
"I'll be surprised if I read a better debut collection this year. Sophia J. Unsworth proves, through ten admirable stories, that the weird tale is alive and well. I hope she finds time to write more and that her work gets the wide recognition it deserves."

"The Woman Who Fell to Earth" by R.B. Russell has received a glowing review from at the British Fantasy Society. Martin Willoughby calls the book "excellent" and writes:
"It is one of the most compelling books I’ve sat down with for some time, and one I wanted to keep reading despite tiredness. I never knew what was going to happen next, but every part of the story made sense in the world in which it existed."

This is one of those curious tales that starts with an odd event, goes in strange directions, ends up with questions, leaves you wondering what you’ve read, but thoroughly pleased you’ve read it.
