Media Reviews

Praise for Ox-Tales: 'A fabulous insight into the literary landscape today * Aesthetica *
An admirable and ingenious idea... There are many gems... This collection disproves claims that the short story is on its last legs. It is also a rare treat to be able to read literature that literally improves the world -- Sebastian Shakespeare * Tatler *
An excellent anthology -- Jake Kerridge * Daily Telegraph *
A diverse, compelling collection of crime stories * Good Housekeeping *
Collections of crime short stories don't get any better than this -- Marcel Berlins * Times *
Several of the starry contributors [are] on rare form ... a cherishable collection. -- Barry Forshaw * FT *
A collection of 27 chilling short stories, written by the cream of the crop of crime writers * Now Magazine *
