Praise for The Crimson Pact Series

?Almost 30 years later The Crimson Pact supplants Clive Barker?s Books of Blood series as the modern compendium of fantasy horror short stories. Though The Crimson Pact lacks the consistent voice the Books of Blood offer, there is something to be said for the variety of styles. Like the viewers of the classic Twilight Zone and Outer Limits television series, each reader is bound to have their own favorites. Whether you buy these for yourself or someone else, any horror, suspense, or dark fiction fan should enjoy the collection.? Lance Roth at Blog Critics.org about Volumes 1-4

?The demons are not your typical straight-from-Hell, pitchfork-tailed monstrosities, or (perhaps) even in any realistic sense of the term ?native? to Earth. No, the demons you will encounter in The Crimson Pact are rather more like H. P. Lovecraft?s Great Old Ones?unknowable creatures from beyond the Void, waiting only their opportunity to invade helpless earths and rule them with devastation and despair.? Author Michael Collings on Hell Notes.com about Volumes 1-4, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

?I applaud those who brainstormed this, and I can hardly wait to read the Crimson Pact, Volume 2. If you haven?t partaken of this little jewel, I encourage you to do so, but beware, what lies beneath a mortal?s skin could be something marvelously demonic.? MK Horror.com

?If you like demons and dark fantasy, if you love the constant struggle of good against evil (or at least human vs. something clawed and taloned), an endless eternal war between humanity and hellborn, then this is definitely the anthology for you.? Pippa Jay of Fantasy Book Review.co.uk ?If you like Dark Fantasy, you?ll love this book.? Author Daniel Coleman, about The Crimson Pact Volume 1
