Guran delivers a good batch of stories about my favorite horror trope: the ghost. Given that it is a time worn sub-genre there is a pretty good amount of transcendence here that bodes well for the modern ghost story. There isn't really a Jamesian story here so if that is what you are looking for, mo...

I didn't think I would like this book very much but since it was recommended I gave it chance. Surprise, I liked it very much. Who would have thought that Sebastian Becker, a detective in America, who is now an investigator for The Lord Chancellor's Visitor in Lunacy in London during the early 20th ...

First off, I won my copy of this book via a giveaway hosted by Goodreads.While a few of the stories held my attention, on the whole I found the book unappealing.

My Mom passed this audio book to me thinking I might like it because it said it was fantasy, so it was with some trepidation that I started listening to it when I saw it was Reader's Digest production. I'm glad to say there were some great stories and most of the angels weren't happily flitting thin...

The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror I've always liked short stories. They are a great way to fit in a good read when reading time is limited or you just want a tasty morsel you can finish quickly.
