No longer should we only think of the classics when we think of horror. Very Lovecraftian in style, Goff is a name that deserves to haunt the minds of horror fans everywhere. Mary Goff has an uncanny ability to make her reader see images as if we were walking around inside her head while she dreams up (sometimes literally) these often disturbing stories. We feel the cold, smell the blood, and sense the fear along with her characters. She paints a very visual landscape that isn't always pretty. And that's a good thing. Dark and grotesque settings and otherworldly monsters haunt her stories.
Ms. Goff out performs herself with her sophomore effort if for no other reason than the amazing "Inmate No. 762030" - a personal favorite. And speaking of dreams, "Cry, Wolf" is based on just that. The sadness can be felt through the pages and it is not one to be missed. Give "Pearls & Prey" a read, but a word of caution.... Make sure the doors and windows are locked and you have a warm, cozy place to read. I hear it can get mighty cold in Hell.
