Reviews / Votes
Praise for previous Crumps Barn Studio Anthologies: "Oh wow what a brilliant set of short stories and poetry ... There is a real mix of different tales" -- Five Stars; "I thoroughly enjoyed Spooky Ambiguous. I appreciated having both poems and prose, first and third person perspectives and a collection that can be dipped into or read in the order presented as I did. If like me, you view the concept of trick or treat anathema, I think you'll be missing a trick if you don't treat yourself to this eclectic collection instead" -- Linda Hill, reviewerMore details
