Available from the publisher at tome@london.visi.net or directly from the author at bhopkins@gate.tinker.af.mil "Brian Hopkins shows how good writing is performed: we can see the rooms, we can flinch at the pain, we can feel the heat, we can smell the coppery tang of blood on the wind. However, Hopkins' principal talent lies in the subtleties of his writing . . . a writer who will be heard from again and again." -- Andrea Locke in DEATHREALM magazine. "The images his fiction invokes in our minds are powerful . . . his fiction breathes dialogue real people would actually say . . . The more disturbing images herein will make you say, 'Ooh, that's sick!' But Hopkins is no splatterpunk. His knife cuts deeper, scrapes bone." -- William G. Raley, AFTER HOURS magazine. "...seven harrowing and very character driven stories . . . From the first to the last, you're in for shuddering treats! Brian Hopkins has emerged as one of the most cheerfuly dark storytellers of them all!" -- Ron Dee, author of DUSK and SUCCUMB. The author welcomes comments and feedback, as well as orders.
