From Publishers Weekly

Though perhaps best known as an editor of anthologies of horror and dark fantasy (Destination Unknown, etc.), Crowther proves in this generous debut story collection to be a master of those genres. From the hypnotic stream-of-consciousness of "Incident on Bleecker Street" to the casual violence of "The Visitor," his writing in the 26 entries here--including poetry and an excerpt from a novel-in-progress--exhibits a stunning range. The power of music supplies the resonant theme of both "Head Acres" and the title story; in the former, music leads to death, while in the latter, music transcends it. "Home Comforts" turns the familiar slayer-vs.-vampire plot on its head, while the evocative and touching "Too Short a Death" shows that vampires can be as human as anyone else. "Gallagher's Arm" is a light Lovecraftian pastiche and an effective query into Machiavelli's claim that "the end justifies the means." There's sly humor as well as horror in "Eater" and "Shatsi," and the volume closes with a series of informative Story Notes. Reports of the demise of the darker genres abound, but vigorous, genuinely fearsome work such as Crowther's demonstrates that the genre is decidedly undead. (July)

5.0étoiles sur 5 something to "crow" about!, Jui 17 2003

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Longest Single Note (Mass Market Paperback)
I am only half-way through this anthology but I could wait no longer to share my thoughts about this wonderful, new,(to me anyway),discovery!The horror/fantasy field has a hope for survival and his name is Peter Crowther!Actually I had heard of the author before because I read "Escardy Gap" when it first came out in pb and was pleasantly surprised-some of it's imagery has remained with me to this day.But since it was a collaboration,and I never noticed anything with the same name published, I thought it was a one shot and forgot about it... until...this past week I happened upon this collection and knew that the author's name sounded a chord somewhere in my memory.
Well,pardon me while I gush!I can't believe this was originally published in '84-and it's just now coming to my attention.The thing that makes Mr.Crowther so different is really his wonderful way of making me recall the stories i grew up reading by the masters of the "golden age":Bradbury,(of course),Matheson,

Beaumont,Sturgeon,Kuttner,Brown...but Crowther gives this nostalghia a twist of modern perversity-almost stomach-churning at times,but then subtly creepy at others.And I like the way he switches back and forth between American and British locales and idioms.
Please keep producing what "what nightmares are made of",as you do so well Mr. Crowther-I can't wait for the next ride-I would read anything you write-that's a testimonial!You have been gifted with the legacy of the masters!
R.Hewitt in Los Angeles
