Clive Barker recommends
 The Influence (1988) Ramsey Campbell "A subtle, intricate and beautifully constructed book...Campbell writes prose as incisive and elegant as anything in the mainstream can offer, while providing the reader with insight and chills only a master of dark fantasy could achieve." |  The Bridge (1991) John M Skipp and Craig Spector "This is the New Horror at work; fast-paced and passionate, breaking new ground as it uncovers the faces that fear wears in the century's final decade." |  Wet Work (1993) Philip Nutman "A vital and original talent." | |
 The List of Seven (1993) (Arthur Conan Doyle, book 1) Mark Frost "An irresistible page-turner." |  Only Forward (1994) Michael Marshall Smith "A dark labyrinth of a book: shocking, moving and surreal. Violent, outrageous and witty - sometimes simultaneously - it offers us a journey from which we return both shaken and exhilarated. An extaordinary debut." |  Longbarrow (1997) Mark Morris "One of the finest horror writers at work today." | |
 Big Thunder (1997) Peter Atkins "Atkins is a brilliant supplier of shudders and splendours." |  Pork Pie Hat (1999) (Criminal Records, book 3) Peter Straub "In any genre, a world class author." |  Demons (2000) John Shirley "John Shirley is an adventurer, returning from dark and troubled regions with visionary tales to tell. I heartily recommend a journey with John Shirley at your side." | |
 The Darkest Part of the Woods (2002) Ramsey Campbell "He provides the reader with insights and chills only a master of dark fantasy could achieve." |  The Ferryman (2002) Christopher Golden "A powerful and haunting tale." |  Anima: Signs of Life / Course of the Heart (2005) M John Harrison "An extraordinary writer." | |
 Rust and Bone (2005) Craig Davidson "There is a strikingly original tone to Mr Davidson's stories. The prose is spare yet elegant, the insights are fresh and real, and best of all there is a boundless humanity in Mr. Davidson's writing: a love of life that is beautifully woven with an acute sense of its darkness. This is in every way an extraordinary book." |  The Wicked Haze (2005) Nicholas Randers (Nicholas Grabowsky) "Nicholas, I salute you!" |  The Poisoned Crown (2006) (Sangreal Trilogy, book 3) Amanda Hemingway "A Piece of Pure Magic." | |
 Unikirja: Dream Book (2009) K A Laity "K. A. Laity's writing is full of fluent style and poetic dialogue." |  The Gemini Factor (2010) Paul Kane "Paul Kane's writing has a style and elegance. He's a first rate storyteller, never failing to marry his insights into the world and its anguish with the pleasures of phrases eloquently turned." |
