Order a copy, as this is of the “need to see it to believe it” caliber.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

Matthew M. Bartlett’s collaborative Advent Calendar with the perfectly paired illustrator, Yves Tourigny, for “Of Doomful Portent” further extends Bartlett’s well-earned reputation as a horror author’s horror author. But more on that in a moment. First let’s talk about the illustrations.

It’s impossible to fathom a better artist working today who could have successfully vivified each entry of Bartlett’s calendar of grotesqueries than Tourigny.

With each entry’s associated image, there is a deeply unnerving sight that can range from the abstract to the downright creepy “lusus naturae” that are known to stalk Bartlett’s tales. One gets the feeling that some of the art is more invocation than visual representation, all adding up to the creep factor.

It cannot be stated firmly enough: Matthew M. Bartlett should already be on any horror fan’s bookshelf, and if you’re new his work, you can’t go wrong by jumping in with just about anything he’s done. However, I’d suggest ordering yourself a copy of this beauty because its artistry by Yves Touringy is of the “need to see it to believe it” caliber.

Great short weird horrors that stick with you, whether you like it or not.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

Another fine addition to the unsettled world where the everyday world reigns supreme for about ten minutes. If even. The stories are reasonably short so that timing is just right. You could read it all in one sitting but that would deprive you of the joy of waking up in a cold sweat wondering who is in the room, night after night. Just one or two stories before bedtime prolongs the fun. Recommended.

A very creatively designed package of your worst nightmares, courtesy of Mr. White Noise, Tumor Man, The Hog, Pope Sevenius and the unimaginably hideous spirits of Leeds. Matthew Bartlett, master of apocalyptic dread, and the talented artist Yves Tourigny present you with an advent calender to leave you breathless. Happy holidays!

Matthew M. Bartlett doesn’t disappoint with this advent calendar of bleak horrific tales. Not for the squeamish, but if you’re familiar with the author, you already know this. Excellent if read one story a day during the holiday season, or if you brave enough to read through in on sitting.
An absolute must for fans of short horror and weird fiction.

I have enjoyed everything from Matthew Bartlett and this one is no exception. To present these stories in an advent calendar format with the complement of illustrations by Yves Tourigny is a novel idea and the execution is superb. There is some twisted, nasty and disturbing content here that easily added joy to my holiday season. Recommended highly.

Matthew Bartlett is a master of these short snippet stories, stories which get immediately to the meat of the matter and make an impression without a lot of preambling background. The combination of these stories here is presented as an advent calendar, 25 stories with added excellent illustration. Everything about this book is excellent.

I found these stories to be familiar and unsettling. It was a real joy to read something so fresh and imaginative. The author's storytelling devices are different than most, and because of that he creates a real sense of curiosity and dread in the most peculiar places. Well recommended.

Author as augury, projecting an other self. Absolutely gorgeous illustrations aside (courtesy of Yves Tourigny), the stories within are astounding and unique.

Fiction and art come together seamlessly

A quick spoiler: there’s no happy ending here!

Having just finished this frightening book, I feel compelled to write a review. In so many ways, this is an amazing book. The words of Bartlett perfectly match the art work of Tourigny. Each of these finely crafted stories is so perfectly written, not a single word is out of place. Grotesque, graphic and very horrific, there’s no compromise given. Unlike other reviewers, I didn’t really find the stories humourus, but I did find them brutally compelling. A game changer in the world of weird fiction, for sure.

Aaaaamazing!

Bartlett delivers another book of surreal horrors and flash fiction pieces that give us a glimpse into a twisted world of nightmares and degeneracy. I adore the imagery, the prose alighted my imagination and painted my brain with landscapes of terror. I've yet to be even slightly disappointed by Bartlett, the more of hia work I read the more I come to appreciate his genius. If you want distinctive and unsettling horror Matthew Bartlett will not let you down.
