There's a great 5-star review for my horror novel The Return on Amazon.co.uk.
"The genres of crime and horror have always skipped hand in hand like a
deranged Jack and Jill (see "Falling Angel" and "The Damnation Game")
and with "The Return" David A Riley continues this tradition. If you
like your cosmic horror to be tinged with the darkness of the human
condition that can be seen in noir-ish crime then this is the book for
you.
Riley evokes a wonderful sense of place in the rundown Grudge
End, a place that is dying but the creatures that dwell within will tear
the world apart as they try to enact their own return just as our
protagonist does returning to the place where he is from now that he has
nothing left.
I would recommend this book to both fans of
Lovecraftian fiction and those who like their horror tales to be fused
with the gritty reality of the old ones - a kind of "Cthulhu tries to
Get Carter""
