About the Book

The Maynard Sims Library presents the finest in traditional English ghost stories and unsettling tales of quiet fear. Echoes Of Darkness are short stories of ghosts and quiet dread. Previously only available in limited edition hardcover the book is now released in e-book and paperback. "Echoes Of Darkness, by Maynard and Sims, offers us such a deceptive collection of darkness, creating through subtle prose and grande imagination a variety of shadows. There lurks beneath the finely crafted eloquence of their words an energy - a joyfully perceptive rush of power- that combines universal themes with intimate struggles, making the tales both general enough to appeal to the masses while immediate enough to touch the individual reader. Through the sureness of their style and believability of their characters, we're reminded of ourselves. It becomes we who are suffering, reacting to unholy dangers tip-toeing or recklessly charging from demon- infested island complex, haunted well, and past life." William P Simmons USA "This 'bumper' new collection offers the unpublished novella 'Ashushma' and eight other spooky supernatural tales, including the authors' highly regarded and macabre novella 'Moths', first published in Enigmatic Novellas and the recipient of an Honourable Mention in The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror 1998. Sarob Press published the authors revised and enlarged first collection Shadows At Midnight (now already Out of Print) in 1999, and are pleased to be able to give their readers a singularly mature and intriguing selection of modern supernatural stories, where there is a quiet horror on every page and where a fear of the dark, the lurking shadows and the unknown is fully, and page-turningly, justified. Echoes Of Darkness is presented as a quality limited edition (only 200 copies) sewn hardcover book, with illustrated dust jacket and interior artwork by Iain Maynard, acid and wood-free paper, head/tailbands and coloured endpapers." Sarob Press "Assured and current." David Howe, Shivers, UK. "Echoes Of Darkness is a terrific book which I strongly recommend you purchase." Terror Tales newsletter, UK. "The Echoes of Darkness will linger long after you have closed the covers..." Derek M Fox, author, UK. "The stories in the book possess that rare, but essential, gift that every reader searches for in a good ghost or horror story: namely, the ability to leave behind a persistent feeling (an echo, as the title says) of uneasiness." Mario Guslandi, All Hallows, Canada. "Buy it. Read it." JASON GOULD, INFINITY PLUS. " Maynard and Sims write much the kind of classic ghost tale and weird fiction they once chose to publish, stories positioned squarely along the Aickman-James axis. These nine well-crafted shockers traverse the globe for various venues of horror, from tropical islands to suburban Britain." Paul Di Filippo, Asimov's. "Succeed in terrifying where some other more graphic authors fail. The pacing of (Moths) is near perfect."MASTERS OF TERROR "I hope that at least one of the stories in this collection will be reprinted in some 'best of' anthologies. It's time for Maynard and Sims to be known as authors in the so called mass market, and not just in the small world of limited editions." All Hallows, Canada.
