Written in Darkness

by
Mark Samuels

...Written in Darkness, represents the quintessential statement of Samuelism. "I believe that mental isolation is the essence of weird fiction" he wrote in The White Hands and the isolation of the individual in society is still a major preoccupation, coupled with a singularly vivid understand-ing of the elusiveness of human identity. This last notion is at the roots of some of the greatest "horror" fiction of the past [....] but it is being tackled today, not least by Mark Samuels, with equal if not greater imaginative insight.
