Reviews - What's Being Said About Philip Nutman & Cities of Night

Philip Nutman has brought a fresh eye and deep enthusiasm to the business of horror. The genre is much enriched by his insight and creativity. He's a vital and original talent.
–Clive Barker, author of The Great and Secret Show and Mister B. Gone

Cities of Night isn’t a long collection, featuring less than a dozen stories. It is, however, a handsome one, with a striking cover and a frontis from Mark Maddox that lays out the central theme with looming elegance. The stories are mostly quick reads, but they’re mostly not easy ones; the emotional and (occasional) physical violence the characters suffer makes sure of that. Still, the visit to Nutman’s Cities is a rewarding one, and a journey that may be profitably undertaken more than once.
–Green Man Review

(E)nough clever ideas on hand to make it worth (readers') while.
–Carl Hays, Booklist

He's a craftsman unafraid to unleash his dark side, which should delight fans of horror and dark fantasy everywhere. Recommended.
–Philip Nutman, SFRevu

The short stories of Philip Nutman are rare and delicious treats, full of punk attitude, brooding darkness, and genuine emotion. I've been waiting for this book for years!
–Christopher Golden, author of Wildwood Road and The Chamber of Ten (with Tim Lebbon)

(A) solid collection and a fine introduction for those not familiar with the author.
–Nick Cato

Nutman writes with ferocity, verve, and intelligence. Not to mention a nasty sense of humour.
–Jack Ketchum, author of Cover and The Girl Next Door

Philip Nutman probes gritty fissures of the mind and sharp corners of the soul, drawing blood to paint his masterpiece. Cities of Night is a dark ride through bad neighbourhoods of the human heart with the music up and the top down, howling at the distant skyline. His stories rev and pulse and growl-savage and sublime, hungry and haunted. Nutman is driven by a need not just for fresh meat but fresh meaning. Cities of Night delivers. Not a trip for the timid.
–Craig Spector, author of Underground and The Light at the End
