Strangely Wondrous

I keep a special spot on my bookcase reserved for my top ten favorite collections of short fiction. This book is on that shelf, along with volumes by Poe, Bashevis Singer, Ligotti, Robert Aickman, Borges, Bradbury, Le Fanu, Lovecraft, and Clark Ashton Smith. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Wondrous and Strange! An Awesome Book

This collection of 25 short stores by author Robin Spriggs is aptly titled. Wondrous strange is both wondrous and strange. The stories are haunting and hypnotic. They are quiet horror; the type of stories that gnaw at you long after you've put the book away. They are stories you won't forget.

Uber Weird!

Holy Moley! This is one of the strangest books I've ever read, and I loved every minute of it. Most of the books I read end up getting traded to used bookstores, but this is one that's definitely staying on my shelf. I'm sure I'll be reading it again and again for many years to come. Not only did it rock my world, it rocked my whole darn universe. I'll say it again: Uber Weird!

A SUREFIRE "STOKER" NOMINATION

Robin Spriggs has already received several rec.'s for the Horror Writer's of America "Stoker" award (in the short fiction category as well as for this particular collection). At times he reminds you of the magic of early Ray Bradbury; at other moments he is as disturbing as this lyrical a prose writer could manage to be. If you love dark fiction, especially of the literate variety, you will not be sorry you bought this delightful book.

A TRUE PLEASURE FROM A TRUE ORIGINAL

Robin Spriggs has presented us with a New Year's treat with his first compilation 'Wondrous Strange.' From the fantastic to the horrific to the humorous, these 'Tales of the Uncanny' kept me burning the night oil into the wee small hours. Mr. Spriggs leads us through a lush landscape of intertwining branches and gnarled roots which always prevent your seeing what's around the next bend. The new millenium welcomes such a pure voice in fantastic fiction. A true pleasure from a true original!
