REVIEWS:
"H.P. Lovecraft said, "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." This perfectly sums up Mark's eleven horror tales.  With stories that include "Werewolves of Dennis," "Captain Harvey's Wildwood Seafood Palace," and his novella "The Witches of Wildwood," there is no doubt that Mark W. Curran will be a household name of horror along with the likes of R.L. Stine and Steven King."
