Reviews
"[Leah Moore and John Reppion] offer graphic retellings of some truly terrifying tales, retellings that manage to capture the tactile nature of James' hauntings and horrors. Like James' own monsters, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is lean, dwarfish and hairy. It's sure to keep you up at night."
