ReviewsPraise for Ray Cluley "Excellent work--surprising, moving, and creepy as hell. And yes, chock full of honest-to-god monsters. Yet another great entry from the British horror scene." --Nathan Ballingrud, author of North American Lake Monsters " Probably Monsters is a delightful collection of spine-chilling horror and dark fiction stories by author Ray Cluley. I read a lot of short story collections in the horror genre, and I have to be honest: this is one of the best collections I've ever read. So if you want to crawl under a blanket and enjoy a chilling night, I would highly recommend this book." --I Heart Reading
