Customer Reviews
A great collection of horror tales!
20 short stories written by various writers. The shortest being 1 1/2 pages and longest is A Peter Straub story about 50 pages. The subjects of the tales cover dark magic, evil people, alien monsters and your average twilight zone horror. Not all of the stories are great, but all of them are enjoyable. If you like reading horror you will defeniatly find something you like in this book.
Hmmmm.....
Hmmm... maybe Stephen Jones and I have very different thoughts on what terror/horror is... Well - I've been reading/watching horror for the past 30 years - and the horror with this book is that it is in my bookshelf. I think there was one ok story in it (well ok - probably a few more... but I had those in other collections). BUT fortunately it was very cheap and the deal was perfect, so no problems there :-)
