I don't expect readers to like every story in the book in the same way that I do, but Mathew Riley's carefully considered and informed opinions are a perfect example of how to construct an intelligent and insighful critique while at the same time expressing his obvious enthusiasm for the genre. My sincere thanks to him and your website for this review. -- Stephen Jones I just wanted to say — as editor of the book reviewed above — that it is a delight to find a reviewer who absolutely *gets* what THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST NEW HORROR is all about.

I don’t expect readers to like every story in the book in the same way that I do, but Mathew Riley’s carefully considered and informed opinions are a perfect example of how to construct an intelligent and insighful critique while at the same time expressing his obvious enthusiasm for the genre.

My sincere thanks to him and your website for this review.
