Reception
Andy Butcher reviewed California Gothic for Arcane magazine, rating it a 7 out of 10 overall.[1] Butcher comments that "California Gothic is one of those horror stories that uses atmosphere very effectively, building up a vague sense of unease rather than just shocking you with gore. In doing so it breaks away from many of the weary traditions of the genre, all of which prevents it from becoming just another horror novel."[1]
