Critic reviews

“These stories evoke those black-and-white days when Alfred Hitchcock shuffled onto our walnut-encased televisions to present half an hour of spine-tingling tension... how refreshing it is to find the perfect length of story that should satisfy all enthusiasts of this genre.” ( The Spectator
