Reactions and Reviews

IN THE SHADOWS turned out great! I love the over-all look of it, the color cover and spiral binding was nice, and your selection of photos excellent. I especially liked the one of Grayson Hall, it's not often that we see glamorous photos of her in DS fanzines. I wish writers would do more Quentin stories! Stories like "SPIRIT MOTHER". .. Since 70 years of his life are unknown to us who knows where and what he was doing. So much potential here.

IN THE SHADOWS --loved it, from that glorious color front cover to the wretched back cover that signalled the end of the anthology. (Say, where was your distinctive Old House Publishing Logo?) «A slip on my part -- DC) The stories by Kathy Resch and Sandra Necchi were exciting and full of colorful locale; Emily Klaczak's "WELCOME HOME" was a touching tale. Andy Nunez really outdid himself -- "ENGLISH SHADOWS" was authentically detailed enough to make me believe it, and "CITIZEN COLLINS" was fabulous fact-grounded fancy. My compliments on the production!
