Reviews

"It's a rich, diverse and satisfying collection of yarns."

STARBURST Magazine

"Fever Dreams delivers a number of punches and doesn’t try to soften their blows. As Mark himself points out in the intro, there’s a multiculturalism to the volume and the stories are as wide-reaching as they are ubiquitous in their fears."

Benjamin Kurt Unsworth

"Jesus Christ, I am scarred for life [...] I think this is a really strong anthology."

Happy Goat Horror

"Morris has delivered another strong horror anthology from some of the best writers around, and new faces who hopefully will go far. Here’s to more alphabetic terror. Recommended."
