>>>> My RATINGS system =
The tales rated m10, m9, m8 are brilliant, great or very good, and are MUST READ.
Those rated m7 can be quite good, interesting, and are worth a read.
But I cannot recommend any very poor tales rated m5 or less: avoid them til last. Enjoy the best tales First.

I am very pleased and delighted with this very high quality collection from Robert Poyton. And he is a very good poet, too.

>>>> if you like weird strong horror [ or Lovecraft, Cthulhu, Deep ones, and worse monsters ], then BUY /READ THIS GREAT new BOOK.

Great poem + editing, Rob.

>>>> Your superb new book is a MUST READ

for all fishy fans who were found staring into their aquarium with their mouth open

for all seaside fishermen

for all kids who ate their little goldfish

for all divers who dont need an aqualung tank

for all fast swimmers with webbed feet

for all who keep their children in the pond

who keep their wife in the bath

who visit their grandparents off the rocky end of Filey Brigg.
