"Greg Chapman’s work not only combines vivid description with three dimensional characters you invest in, his stories make you think. Just the kind of horror I can get behind.” – Paul Kane – #1 bestselling, award-winning author of Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell, Before and The Gemini Effect
“Rife with terror, tension and torment from the first story to the last, this collection shows the gifted Chapman at the top of his game.” – Kaaron Warren, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author of Sky and The Grief Hole
“Black Days and Bloody Nights is a powerhouse collection of bleak horror stories full of religious zealots, psychological torment, and demonic forces. Read it, then find someone to hold you tight as you cry for all of humanity.” – Zac Ashford, Aurealis Award-nominated author of The Morass and Polyphemus
Black Days and Bloody Nights delivers on its title with clear intent and dark creativity. Greg Chapman’s latest collection is bleak, horrific and utterly compulsive, spanning tales of religious fanaticism, possession, psychological torment, and the end of days. Often emotionally anchored in family dynamics, the stories are hellish whirlpools, sucking you into the grim, visceral world of Chapman’s imagination and holding you captive until each devastating maelstrom has played out. Black days and bloody nights, indeed. —Geneve Flynn, two-time Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Award winner
“Dark fiction that’ll have you riveted.” – Steve Stred, author of Churn the Soil
“Chapman’s latest collection is a doorway to his versatility as a writer. Open it but a crack, and the reader sets free dark, terrifying wonders, and is at once beguiled by them all.”—DAVE JEFFERY, award-winning author of MONUMENT and MOOD SWINGS.
"I read this in one sitting, but when I got to the end I wanted to go back to page one and start all over again. . . If you haven’t read one of Greg Chapman’s books you are missing out on something quite phenomenal." –William Bitner, Book Review Village
Regina’s Haunted Library mentioned at the 4.10 mark
“This collection is essential horror reading, showcasing mostly cosmic horror that is expertly bookended by two distinctive longer works that delve into religious themes. The opening foreword sets a compelling tone for stories that undoubtedly deserve a much wider audience.”
"Apocalypses come large and small, but someone always bleeds... this tightly-focused collection delivers horror in gashes and gouts, but Chapman's words will make you think as the rawness and sincerity of his emotions stir your own." – Tabula Rasa
“All in all, it’s an excellent work that puts the gristle back into horror, telling straight-up dark stories where the shadows are always growing and the evil in the world doesn’t hide for long.” — Vogue Horror
“He’s done it again! Greg Chapman is, in my opinion, a true master of unsettling horror. His brand of horror isn’t super gory or in your face, it’s quiet, creeping horror that worms its way into your brain and slowly sets up camp, staying long after you’ve finished reading." – Rachel Schommer, UncomfortablyDark.com
“The stories in this collection hit hard on several different emotional levels and difficult themes…Strong and compelling enough as those themes already are, then to add in elements such as paranormal hauntings, biblical or cosmic apocalypses (awesome descriptiveness on all those!), demonic influences, books of eldritch evil, ‘found footage’ cursed video tapes, and extreme religious fanaticism really ratchets up the tension.” – Christine Morgan’s World of Words
“The delusional downward spiral of morbid dread and psychological shock is strong with this one. Consider this an invitation to witness the “unbelievable” that Greg Chapman has to offer…. A five star Horror Bookworm Recommendation.”
