Richard Gavin's new collection has some of the finest weird fiction
I have ever read, tales that are unique and effective. His sequel
to H. P. Lovecraft's 'The Hound' is especially delicious. This is a
wonderful book, highly recommended W. H. Pugmire Richard Gavin is
one of the bright new stars in contemporary weird fiction. His
richly textured style, deft character portrayal, and powerful
horrific conceptions make every one of his tales a pleasure to
read. S. T. Joshi If you hear some in Kadath saying, Numinous,
Terrifying, or Beautiful, they are either talking about the
Northern Lights or the work of Richard Gavin. Canada? They re
calling it Canada now? Whatever. Don Webb Canadian author Richard
Gavin has established himself as a leading contemporary writer of
weird fiction. His richly nuanced prose style, his imaginative
range, and his shrewdness in the portrayal of character and
domestic conflict make his tales far more than mere
shudder-coining. In this fourth collection of short stories and
novelettes, Gavin again casts a wide imaginative net, from haunted
Canadian woodlands to the carnivorous mesas of the American
frontier, from Lovecraft s New England to the spirit traditions of
Japan. Of the dozen stories included in this book, eight are
previously unpublished a rich new feast of terror for devotees of a
writer who works in the tradition of Poe, Machen, Blackwood, and
Ligotti. Richard Gavin is the author of three previous short story
collections, Charnel Wine (2004), Omens (2007), and The Darkly
Splendid Realm (2009). Gavin lives in Ontario, Canada, with his
beloved wife and their brood.

OMENS is the latest publication by horror author Richard Gavin.
OMENS is a haunting collection of short stories for the
discriminating horror fiction enthusiast. The tales are reminiscent
of the work of Robert Aickman, relying moreso on atmosphere &
imagery to convey the sense of the unknown and unexplained, and
also of the works of Thomas Ligotti, conveying an unsettling sense
of the unimagineable.
