First, Horror Library, Volume 2 received a mostly positive review from The Fix. Here’s what reviewer Michele Lee said about “Charlotte’s Frequency”:

“Charlotte’s Frequency” by Ian Rogers has a science fiction slant. Morris, all set to enjoy his newly purchased big screen TV, instead discovers a modern-day Charlotte, a la Charlotte’s Web, feeding off something far worse than the crickets living around the water heater. Morris and his wife, Jude, both start to feel sick, weak, and dangerously vulnerable. Charlotte herself seems to be half organic and half electronic, spinning webs that feed off electricity and the people around her. This fable, however, doesn’t end with three happy children and their anthropomorphic porcine friend. On the cutting edge of today’s hi-tech world, stories like “Charlotte’s Frequency” will drag horror kicking and screaming into the new century.

Pretty freakin’ sweet. Gotta love that last line.

Also, my review of Elizabeth Hand’s latest novel Generation Loss was printed in last Friday’s edition of The Lindsay Post. I don’t have a PDF of the actual newspaper page yet, but you can read the review online.
