SFFWorld review of THE FOURTH CORONA BOOK OF HORROR STORIES
SFFWorld.com is one of the oldest genre websites featuring the best in science fiction, fantasy and horror. It features book and movie reviews, interviews, articles, guest posts and more. https://www.sffworld.com/
SFFWorld reviews The Fourth Corona Book of Horror Stories, which was recently published by Corona Books UK.
About my story, "Angel Hair", reviewer Shellie Horst writes, "Drifting on the current autumn air, 'Angel Hair' by Deborah Sheldon plays with tension rather than gore. A warning for those who dislike spider webbing. You’ll be brushing off the gossamer threads for some time after reading Sheldon’s story."

Horror Tree review of THE AGAIN-WALKERS
The Horror Tree has posted a great review of my Viking-supernatural novelette, The Again-Walkers.
In part, reviewer Stephanie Ellis writes, "The historical research that went into this short work is obvious, the descriptions of village life, the burial rites which included the items buried with the dead in their barrow, the clothes, all added to a richness of description which supports the ill-fated love affair perfectly."
