Frederic
S. Durbin
Fantasy & Horror Fiction for Adults
and Children
Reviews of Dragonfly
“A wonderfully
original, superbly written, totally engaging,
action-adventure fantasy epic.”
--Midwest
Book Review
“Children’s fears
become real in this intriguingly odd,
old-fashioned dark fantasy of a world beneath ours. . . . At heart this
is an
old-fashioned tale of good vs. evil made distinctive by its roots in
childhood
fears and its gothic scenery, like a quirky campfire story made large
or a
warped celebration of Hallowe’en.”
--Locus
“Fans of Lovecraft and
other horror writers will quickly
learn to relish the name of Durbin, whose story . . . makes for hours
of
enjoyable reading. . . . An outstanding story packed with many
unexpected
twists and turns.”
--The
Bookwatch
“This is the perfect book for
the
Halloween season . . .
worth a try for something different and for those delightful chills up
the
spine you get from a great suspense yarn.”
--Rambles
“As a horror-fantasy
amalgam, Dragonfly is a marked
success. Durbin is gifted with a prodigious fantastic imagination. . .
. The
verve, panache, and assurance with which Dragonfly is written
make us
marvel that it could be a first novel; Durbin is a ‘find’ in whom
Arkham House
can rightly be proud.”
--Weird Tales
