21st July 2011: The Old Knowledge is reviewed by The Stars at Noonday: "... straightforward, unassuming prose belies a keen psychological insight. Old knowledge is never without its secrets and mysteries, and neither is The Old Knowledge." ***   9th July 2011: The Old Knowledge is now available as an ebook direct from Tartarus Press or Amazon. ***   16th February, 2011: The new issue of Black Static includes a good review forThe Old Knowledge. Peter Tennant writes: ". . . a beautifully produced collection of nine stories by Rosalie Parker, in which themes of ancient knowledge intrud[e] into the modern world. . .  My favourite out of all that’s on offer, there’s a delightful ambiguity to ‘The Cook’s Story’ . . . The atmosphere of a country house and the life of wealthy people are brought to vivid life . . . with a sense of the madness and alienation that’s bubbling away beneath the surface and just waiting to explode." ***   5th January: A fine review by Kate Haynes in the Ghostly Company Newsletter: "The Old Knowledge is perfect reading for a winter's afternoon when the light is beginning to fail. Curl up by the fire in your holiday cottage, open a good bottle of red, and enjoy." ***   21st December: Peter Tennant describes "In the Garden" as a "creepy little delight" in his review of the Mammoth Book of Best New Horror #21 in Case Notes for Black Static. ***   8th December: The Old Knowledge is reviewed by Mario Guslandi at The Short Review:"Well crafted prose hinting in soft tones at the darker side of reality" , and Rosalie Parker is also interviewed on the same site. ***   21st November: A new review of The Old Knowledge has been published at The Black Abyss. ***   13th November 2010, A good review at Publishers Weekly for The Old Knowledge: "Parker shows considerable skill at creating dramatic tension and moods of menace that will appeal to fans of subtly told tales of the macabre." ***   21st September: The Old Knowledge is currently subject to a "real-time" review by Des Lewis. "This book, despite its disarmingly simple pure prose style and traditional-seeming supernatural plots, is possibly more intriguing than many a book with dense textured styles and ostensibly complicated plots. An eye-opener for me." ***   18th September, 2010: The Old Knowledge, published by The Swan River Press is now available. It was launched at Fantasycon 17th September, 2010, at the Britannia Hotel, Nottingham.
