A new collection of horror by Angeline Hawkes, Symphony for the Forgotten, is coming September 2008 from Daverana Enterprises. From ancient goddesses and Philistines to Mary Queen of Scots and the French Revolution ... from country roads to different worlds, Symphony for the Forgotten takes you on a journey through time and places feared with fourteen stories of torment and terror. Introduction by award winning author, Michael Largo.
Advance praise for Symphony for the Forgotten:
"...an entertaining foray into religious and spiritual horror...exhilarating tales of sinners and occasional redemption." -- W.D. Gagliani, author of Wolf's Trap
"...a sweeping set of tales that radiate Angeline's pulse in every story...her grasp of what lurks in the heart is clear, and quite dark at times. Truly, a fine read." -- Steven L. Shrewsbury, author of Hawg and Godforsaken
"...an orchestra of creatures both bloody and sexy. You won’t forget this tour through historical horror; it’s a sumptuous smorgasbord for beasts craving variety." --Gregory Lamberson, author of Johnny Gruesome and Personal Demons
"From the biblical age to the cyber age...a sometimes creepy, sometimes thoughtful, but always action-packed symphony that will not soon be forgotten." -- Steven E. Wedel, author of Ulrik and Seven Days in Benevolence
"Symphony for the Forgotten conjures dark and dangerous experiences, satisfyingly 'horrorific' stories seasoned with sly humor...historical epics slipstreaming into alternate realities mixed with tales modern as an internet killer...hellishly inspiring, fantastically inventive." -- C. Dean Andersson, Bram Stoker Award finalist, author of I Am Dracula, Raw Pain Max, and the Bloodsong Saga
"...one of those rare collections where every story is unique and every story works...the writing is sharp, elegant and satisfying..." -- Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Zombie CSU and Patient Zero
"...historical literature combined with comedic splatter, the battle against Satan waged as a military operation, and a gore-drenched version of the David & Goliath tale. There's humor, sorrow, magic, and even a one-eyed Chihuahua. Very highly recommended." --Jeff Strand, author of Pressure and The Sinister Mr. Corpse
"From a modern chatroom dangerous liaison…to a ghastly scene of bewitched decay in revolutionary France; from a Civil War run-in with a hellhound to a retelling of the biblical David and Goliath story with a zombie chaser, in Symphony for the Forgotten, Angeline Hawkes takes her readers on a tour of commingled history and horror, usually wrapped in one neatly coiffed, if bloody package. Time travelers beware!" -- John Everson, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Needles & Sins and Covenant

Comments on Angeline Hawkes’s works:
Angeline Hawkes is a writer to watch. She writes a fast paced story filled with fascinating characters and taking place in exotic locales. Her work never fails to entertain. Watch out for Angeline, she's a writer on the move.
– Robert Weinberg, author of The Black Lodge, The Dead Man's Kiss and The Masquerade of the Red Death trilogy based on the Vampire: the Masquerade RPG.
Angeline Hawkes’ writing is vivid, evocative, and a pleasure to read. I have enjoyed her works for a long time.
– Janrae Frank author of The Dark Brothers of the Light series and In The Darkness, Hunting: Tales of Chimquar the Lionhawk
Angeline Hawkes is an exciting new writer and accomplished storyteller. Read her now, because in a few years, everyone else will be.
– Brian Keene, author of Terminal and City of the Dead
Angeline Hawkes' … imagination seems to tend toward a Lovecraftian-meets-George Romero-in-a-dark-alley sensibility.
- Robert Butterfield, Necropsy: The Review of Horror Fiction
Take Angeline Hawkes’ penchant for the fantastic and mix in Christopher Fulbright’s gritty, dark vision and what do you have? Then Comes the Child is the best work by either author. It is compelling and chilling and will not let you put it down. Reading it, you can see that this literary couple are the perfect complement to one another and, God help us, separate or collaborating, Hawkes and Fulbright have become a force to watch.
- Steven E. Wedel, Author of Shara and Murdered by Human Wolves
In the ever-growing popularity of religious genre fiction, Angeline Hawkes stands out as someone special. The Commandments is a righteous testament to both faith and plain good storytelling!
– Charlee Jacob, Stoker-nominated author of This Symbiotic Fascination and Dread in the Beast
Angeline Hawkes has finally given readers what they want… more than just a taste. In The Commandments she again offers intelligent, entertaining, forceful storytelling that will compel you to read cover to cover in a single sitting. A wonderful way to spend a day.
– John Paul Allen, author of Gifted Trust and Weeping Mary
Angeline Hawkes writes with the fatalistic poetry of unstoppable history gone disturbingly wrong. The tales of Memento Mori wrestle fiends of the Civil War and demons of medieval times; they peel back the veil on futuristic cloning gone bad and vampiristic babes left like ticking bombs on foggy doorsteps. Whether she sets her sights ahead or behind our noon, on sci-fi parable or fantastic fable, Angeline finds one constant – the darkness that slips close as a noose when the cautions of conscience are ignored and shadows infiltrate the heart unfettered.
– John Everson, author of Covenant, Bram Stoker Award for First Novel
It's not everyday that you find horror stories, which are both eloquent and brutal, yet these are exactly the kind of tales that Angeline Hawkes writes. Reminiscent of old masters like Algernon Blackwood and M. R. James, these stories will both titillate and entertain. Whether you're looking for a few scares, a thought provoking read, or just a little fun, Angeline Hawkes will not disappoint.
– Jason Brannon, author of Puzzles of Flesh and Winds of Change
In El Reptil Rey, Angeline Hawkes has managed to capture all the fun and dread of watching Universal's classic mummy movies on Saturday afternoon TV. You don't want to miss it!
– Steven E. Wedel, Author of Shara and Call To The Hunt
