  "Machen, Hodgson, Dunsany, White--and Scott Thomas. Scott Thomas redefines what it is to be 'old school' in Cobwebs and Whispers. Thomas takes command of the Victorian era horror tale and drags it kicking and screaming into the new millennium. The poetic and bizarre 'A Fine Death for Hubert Hillaby,' the exotic, Gaiman-esque 'Ellette,' the haunting and bittersweet 'Marcy Waters,' the terrifying 'The Puppet and the Train,' all are a delightfully wicked read. The visions conjured in Cobwebs and Whispers will linger with you long after you've closed the book. Highly recommended!"
