In Not Before Bed, rest assured, there’s something for everyone and each short story is unique as the last. Sheer brilliance this, one of the funniest horror collections I’ve ever read.

– Nathan Robinson, author of Ketchup on Everything

The collection runs from the atmospheric to the darkly visceral, with some nice injections of humor in the prose along the way (there is a Robocop reference I couldn’t help but chuckle at). The influences and subjects were diverse: some supernatural, others of the creature-feature variety; some Lovecraftian, others of the undead category. What really made the collection go for me is the afore-mentioned voice/pacing combination. Hallam uses fragments really well–I like the fluidity of the prose as he underscores action with simple, succinct phrases.
