Reviews

“These stories have the making for great terror films.”—Sara Karloff, daughter of horror icon Boris Karloff “James Parker is a skilled storyteller who creates intriguing narratives enhanced by atmospheric trappings, especially well suited to the ghost story genre. In addition, he brings a historian’s gift for research that gives his stories a verisimilitude which makes them even more hauntingly believable—and unsettling.”—Robert Pohle, official biographer to Sir Christopher Lee
