ABOUT THE PUMPKIN KING AND OTHER TALES OF TERROR
The Pumpkin King and Other Tales of Terror represents twenty of R. David Fulcher’s best horror stories. Unlike slasher books, these stories create an eerie atmosphere of dread, letting the reader’s own imagination fill in the terrifying details. In the tradition of psychological horror and dark fantasy, they hint at sinister things lurking in the shadows without fully bringing them to light. .
GENERAL PRAISE FOR THE PUMPKIN KING AND OTHER TALES OF TERROR
(note: Helen has not yet read the book herself)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
R. David Fulcher’s fifth collection of short stories serves up a host of sinister characters and startling situations. These are crisp, well-crafted tales, with plenty of atmosphere. There’s surely a movie or three in here, not least the enigmatic “Merry Are We of the Lake”. The Pumpkin King and Other Tales of Terror is a great read from start to finish. Amazon review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I felt the author somehow presented the imagery as something that could be scary in a fun way, or even a picturesque sort of way. I also found that with some of the stories, it was merely the idea or suggestion of something that scared me, rather than something specific. All of these stories were quite short, but with each of them, I felt I got what I was looking for – the desired chills, or just the feeling of unease, disquiet. Goodreads review
