Review by: Frank Errington on June 18, 2012 :
Midnight Theatre is a treat for horror lovers everywhere.

This collection of 5 shorts begins with Precious Blood. Father Duncan Malloy is a priest at a small Catholic Church in Ireland and just before closing the doors for the night, he is coerced into the confessional by someone who's been around for a very, very long time.

From a vampire tale in Ireland to a story of the undead in New Orleans, next up is Relish, which starts with Jerry Thornton "naked, tied up in the the dark, in the middle of nowhere and he didn't know why."

I thoroughly enjoyed Hell-O-Ween. There's something about demon children "Trick or Treating" in Hell that just makes me smile.

There's also Patrick Oswald Edwards, a piece which reminded me of Edgar Allen Poe, might've been the reference to The Pit and the Pendulum, but I was actually thinking of Poe before I even got to that part.

Chapman finishes strong with a story about time in The Breadth of An Instance. My favorite or as Greg would say, "favourite", he's Australian after all.

All 5 stories are imbued with strong prose, something he has in common with Canadian Horror writer Rio Youers. That's pretty good company.

Going into this collection, I knew that Greg Chapman excelled at the Novella, having given 5 stars to both Torment and The Noctuary. After reading Midnight Theatre, I am convinced he can write short fiction as well. I just wish he's get around to writing a full-length novel. Something I could really get lost in for a few days.

Review by: Su Halfwerk on March 22, 2011 :
Reading Midnight Theatre: Tales of Terror is like stepping through a multi-layered universe created by Greg Chapman. Each story weaves facts interlaced with references to events in history or literature pieces. I can’t divulge more than to avoid giving the stories away. I can, however, give couple of examples of how the novella affected me; I feel the time differently now, especially any references to Déjà vu; Halloween will hold new dark corners for me, in those corners other beings dwell, engrossed in their own activities.
This book gave me the same feeling I got when I watched the movie Dark City, it has a delicious mixture of darkness, intrigue, and hope for the best.
A brilliant read for horror aficionados.
