"David Downing gives us Vilkatis, the story of a traveler on a mission to slay a werewolf that has been terrorizing a village. This is one of a series of stories apparently, and you do get the impression that the hero has a bigger and more interesting background than your standard wandering vigilante. This background and the brief details of village life make it an engaging read."

GARETH D. JONES, SciFi UK Review

​

"…a handbook on how to tell a story over a round of ales. The voice used to tell The Dragon Princess is friendly and warm, much like that of a tavern barkeep making friends with his customers. It welcomes you to the tale and speaks to you so nicely that you just have to keep reading. … well paced and filled with tiny but lavish details.."

​

"Kalat has a mysteriousness about him, the lone wandering warrior. …The imagery is vivid… a good tale with an iconic charm." 

MARSHALL PAYNE, Tangent Online

​

A Place That Never Was:  "…everything in this story is lush, evoking childhood memories. Readers glimpse the world the girl sees, and it recalls a time when they had a world no one else could visit and friends only they could see. …Well worth the read."

​

Awakening: "David Downing's tale of courage is a short but meaningful entry that isn't actually overshadowed by its moral." 

PAUL ABBAMONDI, Tangent Online

​

A Song of the Aelves: "the story paints a clear picture of the town, its denizens, and the events in the song … well written… find something good to take away from it."

NICOLE McCLAIN, Tangent Online

​

Tiama: "works as a short story … captures the essence of the plot well … the story lends itself well to the conclusion … A good story with a worthy moral ending and that earns its top billing."
