Praise for The Horrors Hiding in Plain Sight

Kane Hodder,

Horror Movie Legend

"Rebecca Rowland's writing is a fresh and unique breath in the horror genre. I enjoyed reading such twisted stuff that is still grounded in reality."

Tom Savini,

Kane Hodder,

Special Effects Legend

"Sometimes the best special effects are the ones done in the reader's mind; for her magically detailed description, Rebecca Rowland deserves an honorary FX award."

Steve Gonsalves,

Ghost Hunters

"Rebecca Rowland paints a very vivid picture with her writing, keeping me in the moment; as a horror reader, that's exactly what I want. I am glad these thoughts are in her head and not mine, which I consider a compliment of the highest regard!"

"[Rebecca Rowland] should be applauded for producing such a solid and wide-ranging collection which bravely avoids supernatural horror; she has a wicked sense of humour, explores surreal situations with panache and tackles some tough uncompromising areas of everyday horror." -Tony Jones
