“These are the literary spawn – bastards though some may be – of the stories that one would have read in the pages of Weird Tales, that venerated pulp magazine of the early part of the twentieth century.

Jack Mackenzie’s tales of dark fantasy offer to tingle your spine, to fill you with the same old sense of blood and thunder of the sword-swinging tales in the best tradition of the grand old pulp magazines.
