“Musson’s collection is quick to read, hard to put down, and will live rent-free in your head once you’ve finished it. Once More Round the Sun isn’t just good, it’s damned right compelling.”
Caitlin Marceau, award-winning author of This Is Where We Talk Things Out
***
“You may know him for his love of all things Stephen King, but goddamn, don’t sleep on Dave Musson the writer. Once More Round the Sun is a deft card trick of a collection, flitting from horror to heart-felt to humour and back again. His voice sings, blinds with its brilliance, then stabs. Consider me a fan.”
Spencer Hamilton, author of The Fear and Welcome to Smileyland

"Genuinely unsettling weird Albion folk horror delivered with a fiendish twinkle in the eye"
Garth Jones, author of Home Brewed, Vampire Bullets
***
"In a flurry of stories, Musson manages to mix beauty with brutality, love with lust, heartfelt connection with horrific catastrophe, and gentleness with gore. Stephen King would blush to know the dark creativity his writing has inspired. Horror lovers, take notice, Once More Round the Sun is a collection that should not be slept on…and it just might keep you turning the pages well after bedtime."
Thomas Gloom, author of the Stories With Horror & Heart series
