I like to read Horror books any time of the year, but right now, close to Halloween is the best time. These twenty short horror stories were the best of the Mammoth book of best new horror. Out of the twenty stories, I only really liked five of them. The rest were just OK, in my opinion. The ones I ...

(I got a copy of this book from NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.)3.5 stars for this collection of 27 stories, some of which are funny and grotesque, some others dark and disturbing.Strangely, I didn't feel that much of a connection with a lot of those. Maybe I've become picky after a few...
As we pass the halfway mark of the year, we find the first of the new 'best of' anthologies flooding the market. Currently I have 4 monster tomes that I've been reading through, jumping around between favorite authors and intriguing titles. I'm not one to read an anthology from cover-to-cover, but I...
The Very Best of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Volume 2 Edited by Gordon Van Gelder I recently read a short-story collection of recent works from big-name authors that caused me to reflect on what I looked for in the short story. I came to the conclusion that my childhood addiction to Year's Best an...
This was an ok read, 2.5 stars from me.I've never been a huge fan of short stories, it takes a lot for them to be really good (in my opinion).Some of these stories were better then others, which I find to be the case in most of these collections. I think the stories range between 1 star and 3 stars....

The Basics Slippage is a short story collection, which shouldn’t surprise any Ellison fans. Many of his collections have a theme, and this one has to be the saddest of all. At the time, he’d been through the wringer, and this was his last collection of new material. The term “slippage” is one he u...
This was probably the least favorite book I have ever read by Ellison. There are a number of problems for me. It includes the complete script for Harlan Ellison's Movie. Now I hate reading drama and film scripts so Mr. Ellison already has one foot in the grave here with me. Secondly, it is not very ...
I was twenty when I first read “Ender’s Game” back in 1987. I was completely absorbed in it, turning the pages eagerly to know what would happen next and being shocked, even outraged, when I understood the sustained deceit and betrayal on which the book was based. Thirty-six years later, I decided...
