​

I read your story "Missing" in Horla, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The art of the short story is based in part on parsimony: you have, in a short space, created a fascinating scenario that touches on the everyday paranormal. I like how we know enough and no more, which is always a good place to leave off in a horror story. An excellent little bit of the bizarre, and I really enjoyed reading it! Andrew L. Hodges

MOVING THROUGH MOUNTAINS: Quality Women’s Fiction (QWF)

Reviewed on the official website of Laura Hird 2005:

The Welsh story 'Moving Through Mountains' by Wendy Holborow is one of the best pieces of fiction in this issue, and my own personal favourite. Following a farmer over the course of his life, it details the hardships of rural life, and the loneliness of the man at the heart of the story. This really is a strong piece of writing and it came second in the magazine's Philip Good Memorial Prize.
