More About the Author

Simon Clark is the author of the cult apocalyptic novel Blood Crazy: "everyone over the age of 19 has been driven murderously insane... children and teenagers flee for their lives..." His novels include Nailed By The Heart, Vampyrrhic, Whitby Vampyrrhic, Ghost Monster and a bloody fistful of others that earned accolades from magazines around the world. This from Hellnotes: 'Clark's is surely the most outrageous imagination to grace horror since the discovery of Clive Barker' And: 'I actually loved Blood Crazy. Not just liked it, but loved it.' A quote from Beyond.

Simon was raised in a family of story-tellers. One told of a human skull buried under the family's garage. Currently he lives in the North of England where Robin Hood once roamed, and where legends of monsters lurking in ponds and caves abound. 2010 sees the release of his latest novella, Humpty's Bones, from Telos Books.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 100-word book review, March 20, 2007
By 
This review is from: Judas Tree (Paperback)
This novel is proof that good horror need not feature buckets of gore or spattering body parts. Judas Tree is all about unease and disquiet, the sense we have sometimes in bad dreams that something is very wrong, although we do not know why. I give top marks to Simon Clark for his excellent location (a rocky, inaccessible Greek island speckled with villas and riddled with secrets), edgy, realistic characters and some subtly nightmarish imagery, which still lingers in my imagination. Judas Tree reads very like a ghost story of the old school, and is all the better for that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Holds your interest with setting and characters, May 5, 2007
By 
Ron "mvg@whidbey.com" (Whidbey Island, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Judas Tree Hb (Hardcover)
Plot: After suffering an injury that affects her memory and causes her to see things, Amelia travels from bleak wintry England to the Greek island where her estranged mother lives with two other women. While there she continues to see strange sights, and as a seasonal storm comes along and cuts the island off from the world, the strange occurances increase and Amelia finds herself wondering if she is really delusional or seeing actual supernatural phenomenon.

Review: Easy to read and with believable characters (although a little too much time is spent pre-island), this is a good read for those who enjoy a dash of the supernatural in their tales. As is often the case, the ending is a bit of a let-down, but it was still an enjoyable read.

4.0 out of 5 stars No Simpson's nod?, May 19, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Judas Tree (Paperback)
I have almost all of Simons' books, and in almost all of them, he mentions The Simpsons.....i think. :)

Anyways, I just finished my 9th Simon Clark book and it's pretty good. It's definitely one of his tamer books. It's actually kind of "girly". Lots of wine drinking and chit-chating and not enough scares. There was no way enough chills in this book...BUT, the story flowed extremely well. I liked his descriptions of the island and the statues the most. Thinking back now, he really described everything amazingly well.

The book was good not great. My least favorite of the 9 is Nailed by the Heart and then this. BUT, I still enjoy and fly through everything he writes. If you're a fan of his writing, it's definitely worth your time.
