Ramsey Campbell, a man who needs no introduction unless you have been comatose since the mid-70s, kicks this collection off with an endorsement for the many talented female authors out there. In a world where positive discrimination is still largely present in literature, he lists Sarah Pinborough, Alison Littlewood, Caitlin Kiernan, and a host of other great writers as some of the best in the field, regardless of sex. And Thana Niveau, the author of this collection, receives very high praise indeed from Campbell.
