Review of my collection TALES FROM THE DEEP END
"First, Dean discusses assorted authors and books, offering interesting observations like “Often compared to Lovecraft but so different, Poe had no monsters from the abyss and Lovecraft had no dark obsessions about death”
Obviously, Dean has put a lot of thought into his favourite books and their impact on him. Consequently, I think his capsule “histories” of these categories have value to many readers, not just old guys like me but especially young ones, as the article offers an enticing vision of great works, they can look forward to discovering for themselves.
Dean goes beyond Lovecraft in that he not only strives to recreate the mood of impending doom the latter was so fond of, but eschews his technique of hinting at the indescribable and instead goes full bore with detail piled upon detail.
One of the strengths of this tale, indeed of Dean’s work in general, is the sheer amount of description. In the best tradition of Gothic fiction from The Castle of Otranto to the works of Hodgson and Dunsany, he piles detail upon detail to build a mountain-like edifice of mood and dread more important than mere characterization and plot. Readers who enjoy this sort of thing, as fans of Gothic and supernatural horror tend to do, will enjoy and appreciate this level of detail. Those who prefer action/adventure will probably dismiss it as padding. But only because they miss the point of it. Mood is the single most important element.
At the beginning I asked the question “Is it worth reading?”
The answer is yes, absolutely. Not only for those who love reading horror, but for those interested in writing horror. There are lessons to be learned, but the most important one, as demonstrated in this collection, is “unleash your imagination!” Dean has done this to a remarkable degree."
Review from Richard Graeme Cameron of POLAR BOREALIS MAGAZINE (for the full review look up the site)
Dean has had numerous stories published in England, Canada and the United States of America
This review made my day -my month -my summer!
My stories (and art) art well out of the ordinary so if you are looking for something with a bit of style and abrasiveness you've come to the right place. Lovecraftian, Polar Borealis and Breaking Rules Publishing have published more than a handful of my work. Canada, England and the United States have published my work and \i am so thrilled with every story and or drawing that sees the light of day thanks to you for seeing something in my work.
thanks for reading my blurb
