The Children of Old Leech: A Tribute to the Carnivorous Cosmos of Laird Barron
"Lockhart and Steele collect 17 original stories from some of the shining stars of modern horror, constructing a worm-riddled literary playground from elements of the fiction of horror maestro Laird Barron. The results come across with a coherent feeling of dread, without feeling derivative of the source. [...] Hopefully Barron will enjoy this  tribute; his fans certainly will." -Publishers Weekly"This multifaceted grimoire, and the talent associated with it, is staggering to behold. [...] The tales, while sometimes recalling certain tropes or characters from his fiction, can be enjoyed in their own right; and, I must say, the range of styles on display is consistently impressive." -C. M. Muller,Chthonic Matter"Lockhart and Steele have a winner on their hands, I think; this is one I'll keep coming back to, much as I do with Laird's work. ReadingTCoOLwas like standing in that Tree beside that lake in the hills, up to my ankles in smoky rot and grey grubs, unable to move, while the sun dipped down to dusk. Recommended." --Scott R.
