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....
You can always count on Ellen Datlow to put together a good anthology! As with any collection, I personally like some stories more than others, but this is definitely recommended: not just for Lovecraft fans, but for any reader of horror and dark fantasy.***** Only the End of the World Again by N...
Lovecraft's Monsters is a short story anthology of tales featuring monsters created by H.P. Lovecraft.First off, H.P. Lovecraft, along with Edgar Rice Burroughs and Arthur Conan Doyle, is a writer that I'm much more interested in the works they inspired rather than their own writings. I know it's ak...
There was only one Karl Edward Wagner. Taken far too soon by the demons within, he left behind a body of work that will stand the test of time. Collected here are the tales that cement his reputation as one of the master storytellers of his generation. With the added bonus of a touching foreword by ...
An incredible collection of Wagner's later works, bearing witness to the pain that would cut short his career and his life. These stories all bear the scars of the battle between his personal demons and his muse, including several which are painfully autobiographical, giving the reader an unflinchin...
Ohgod it has "The Events at Poroth Farm" I must possess this must must must----carry on. ========8/9/2012 - copy finally came in at Perfect Books. Am amused to notice how many of the contents I have already read, but perfectly happy with this regardless.
I liked this collection way more than the Mammoth book of Zombies. "Midnight mass" and "Red Reign" were revelations, and I got the opportunity to revisit classics like "For the blood is the life" and "Ligeia". There are tales here that I will definitely read again in the near future.
This was a pretty good collection. Too bad I put it down more than a year ago, and I don't remember the stories I read back then well enough to write a competent review. I don't really want to spend the time to reread the first half, so this review is going to be pretty sketchy. My apologies for t...
I am very impressed with this anthology. The writing is strong and the stories are very good, with the exception of only two. The strongest stories are More Tomorrow (Michael Marshall Smith), The Puppets (Ramsey Campbell), The Hungry Moon (Graham Masterton), Uzzi (Brian Lumley) and Fee (Peter Straub...
Often a bit much. I guess I prefer my horror with more aesthetic style and less abuse... some of the stories weren't bad though - some good authors featured. I probably would have liked the book as a whole better if the editor weren't so keen on defining and validating the term "splatterpunk" at eve...
