Books in the Media
Our amazing authors have received lots of great press this past week!
Jen Williams has been mentioned in a Guardian article about the rise of horror fiction. For the piece, Jen comments that the boom is partly due to the political nature of the genre: “Horror is a genre that tends to ebb and flow with what’s going on in the world at large, holding up a dark funfair mirror to real world horrors”.
The Fantasy Hive reviewed Jen Williams’ THE HUNGRY DARK: “Creepy, atmospheric, and insidious; everything I’ve come to expect from Williams’ thrillers.’
Good Housekeeping have included Jen Williams’ THE HUNGRY DARK, Saara El-Arifi’s FAEBOUND and Jennifer Saint’s ATALANTA in their list of the top 13 best fantasy books to read right now.
