5.0 out of 5 stars
Dark suspense at best, December 28, 2005
This review is from: Bad Intentions (Hardcover)
The invisibility of Norman Partridge among fans of horror and dark fiction is difficult to understand.He is the most undervaluated writer of the 90's and the most original voice since Thomas Ligotti.
Partridge's fiction is often compared to that of Joe Lansdale, they share a love of drive-in movies, old west mythology and similar stuff, but when comes to approach and style they are poles apart and IMHO his short stories are superior to that of Lansdale.
Partridge's prose is richly textured and the facility with wich he blends genres and handle different styles borders on the scary.
The quality of Partridge's short fiction is remarkable high and even his lesser pieces are far superior to the majority of dark fiction being published today.
BAD INTENTIONS is his best collection.
