STEP INTO THE WORLD OF THE DARK MAN: PLEASE HAVE YOUR REFERRAL READY... An abused child encounters the local legendary boogeyman, and finds himself querying the definition of 'monster'...

An inhuman predator establishes its feeding ground in a small rural town-but does it have competition...? In this collection, representing the darker work of author Chuck McKenzie, you'll find tales of zombies, kaiju, and alien invaders; of visits to Hell, and to quiet suburban streets; of Lovecraftian entities and spectral terrors. And other, far less pleasant tales than these...

Praise for Chuck McKenzie 'The Dark Man, By Referral', This Fresh Hell In an irresistible blend of charm, cleverness and creeps, the boogieman used to terrify children turns out to be useful when combatting the real horrors of their lives. Kyla Lee Ward, author of This Attraction Now Open Till Late Chuck McKenzie -- powerful stuff right out the gate, so well told, chilling and healing all at the time[SL1], entirely my kind of thing Nisha-Anne D'Souza, author of Calling Pomegranate This is a wonderful book for the lover of horror. I am definitely not picking favourites, but I reckon any reader will love 'The Dark Man, by Referral' by Chuck McKenzie Clare Rhoden, author of Dancing With Vampires Book 1 'Like A Bug Underfoot', Daikaiju! Giant Monster Tales McKenzie does what he does best in this story - angry, fiery black comedy with very sharp teeth.. Australian Speculative Fiction in Focus Confessions of a Pod Person, Mirrordanse Editions There wasn't a weak story in the entire collection, and I pretty much devoured Confessions of a Pod Person in record time. Highest recommendation on this one, kids. Scaryminds This collection is a valuable showcase of one journeyman author on the rise and a worthy satirical addition to the Australian speculative fiction landscape. HorrorScope Worlds Apart, Hybrid Publishers I haven't been this entertained reading a sci-fi since I first stumbled across Lister and the Red Dwarf crew years back. Give it a go. FHM Here is a quirky, quietly humorous SF novel - with a message. Orb Speculative Fiction Worlds Apart is an amiable read that passed the Train Test for funny fiction; that is, it made me laugh while reading it on public transport. Rob Jan, 3RRR Zero-G Science Fiction, Fantasy and Historical Worlds Apart is a fast-paced lightweight read. A lot of fun. Aurealis Those who are titillated by Robert Asprin's tales will find much to amuse them in Chuck McKenzie's novel. Altair
