Writer Matthew Fryer has reviewed Tales From the Smoking Room on his blog, The Hellforge. He says some very nice things about the stories, commenting on The Strangled Garden as “the baleful atmosphere and period language are faultless – the work of a very meticulous writer – and the inevitable adventure into the garden builds to a classic finale.”

Des Lewis has come up with a great competition for his annual ‘guess-which-writer-wrote-which-Nemonymous-story’, with help from Bob Lock. The winner – who correctly assigns the most stories to their true bylines – will have their name used as a character in ALL of the stories in next year’s anthology, Nemonymous 10.

Speaking of CERN ZOO, writer MATTHEW FRYER has posted a nice review on his site, describing the anthology as “a banquet. A cornucopia of flavour and texture, of many courses and layers.”
