The Leaves of Eden Fall

"Everyone has at least one fear. You might be afraid of the dark or being alone, enclosed spaces or spiders... Everyone is afraid of something. In horror stories, our nightmares are brought to life in a way that we can control. You can pull back from it if it gets too fearful. We can't do much about the things that scare us in real life, but when reading, we can close the book or scroll past a post to exhibit some level of control. This is why I love horror, and also why I write it." -- Jeremy Muller

"Right off the bat, this anthology took me completely by surprise. Being an avid fan of the science fiction and horror genres, I was expecting new twists on zombie apocalypses and malevolent spirits lurking in dark corners. The Leaves of Eden Fall is anything but that! There is a magnificent silver thread of suspense and a quiet dread that runs through the whole book, but in ways that tend to creep up on you rather than assault you. Jeremy's stories get under your skin leaving you with a vestigial chill long after you've finished reading them. The plot lines too are wonderfully fresh and miles out of the hackneyed box of horror stories. I enjoyed each one of the stories but if I had to pick, my favourites would be: 'Gardenias' and 'Glass Noodles'." -- Mahvash K Mohtadullah
