Reviews of the Series:

The First Humdrumming Book of Horror Stories is, I hope, the forerunner of many subsequent volumes. It’s a slim book, but inside there some chilling and disturbing tales from some excellent authors who are really beginning to make names for themselves.

Fans of the old [Pan Book of Horror Stories] collection that come across The First Humdrumming Book of Horror Stories will no doubt be taken back to similar days with just a glance at the cover. An homage to the classic collection, The First Humdrumming Book brings together eleven of Humdrumming’s regular authors who take us down a number of paths, some cryptic, some brutal, others delightfully absurd, but all of them into the darkness…
     A nice collection of stories in the tradition of the classic anthologies from yesteryear. Very recommended.
