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 seemed to like this more than anyone else on goodreads. Not sure if I'm just stupid or everyone else is, but I have my own theory about that. Anyway, Lamsley has fashioned a nifty little Lovecraftian novella that should give suicides pause and reminds me somewhat of H.P. Lovecraft's story From Bey...
