"Ray is a gifted wordsmith!! His story 'Purple Rain'
won an award and in my view is a masterpiece in the short story field. I would
not be surprised if one day one of his stories was turned into a film. Keep
crafting Ray."
-Jon Whalley
"I loved the short stories, they were well written with
lots of unexpected endings to suit all tastes. As Alfred Hitchcock once quoted:
"give them pleasure, the same pleasure they have when they wake up from
a nightmare." There was lots of horror crime, fear, fantasy and fiction;
it was an excellent book. The Lord of Misrule is a book well worth reading,
can't wait for the next."
-Magi Mumford
"Well Ray what can I say. This is the first book
I have read for years and you got me waiting for the next now. These stories
seem to draw you in and I have often lost all track of time when reading. Oh
yes by the way, thanks for nearly making me late for work once, it was *The
Lord of Misrule*!!. The books a real accomplishment to you Ray and I truly enjoyed
every story. Hope you do well with the sales and I hope the computer game comes
off as I will defiantly want to buy one. "
- Dave Hunt
"The Lord of Misrule is a book well worth reading: from the brutal
opening story featuring the demise of an old stationmaster at the hands of a
desperate thug, the collection races towards a chilling climax with the title
story, The Lord of Misrule, a fable about a computer game enthusiast who is
challenged to play 'the world's hardest game'. Each story is well written, with
no wasted words, and more often than not an unexpected ending, reminiscent of
such classic hits of yesteryear - The Twilight Zone meets Tales of the Unexpected.
With 13 featrured stories, whatever your taste: horror, dark fantasy, ghost
story, and even a supernatural romantic drama, this book has it all. Looking
forward to the next collection. "
- M. T. Eyre
"Though Ray Clark’s edgy collection of Serling-esque short stories
permits one to taste the macabre bit by bit, I could not push my plate away
and feasted on ghosts, imps, cluricauns, and woefully sinister personalities,
devouring every story in one evening. You can feel the chilling yet subtle influences
of London’s favorite purveyor of fear and fantasy, Alfred Hitchcock, who makes
a subtle appearance in one story as he always did in his unforgettable films.
Suspenseful and menacingly clever, this master spinner of yarns of misrule,
Ray Clark, has a cult hit. (And, it’s perfectly fine to read it with all the
lights on. I won’t tell.) "
- Leslie Laughlin
"A most engaging and original read. Certainly the author has a spectacular
inventive mind."
- Pam Jordan
"Ray Clark is a true polymath in the dark side of fiction, from horror
to fantasy to science fiction to crime and to the world of computer games, few
writers push the boundaries so convincingly and so elegantly. This collection
is a joy to read and a rich treasure trove to be savoured slowly like a fine,
potent brandy. "
