The authors in this anthology take West Virginia legends and add their own fictional twist. I love stories involving WV, (especially ghost stories)and this book didn't disappoint. However, with most anthologies, there is a story or two that I didn't care for and this book was no different. Mostly, t...
I'm really torn between 4 and 5 stars on this one. As far as short story collections go, this is pretty much 5 stars (there were only a few stories that I really didn't care for, and I read all but one of them). I think the only one I skipped was "Two of a Kind" by Jacquelyn Mitchard. It just seemed...
Gran, gran colección que conmoverá a los fans de Bradbury y probablemente saque una lagrimita o dos en algún punto. Se percibe el cariño con que se escribieron las historias y se atisban varios elementos de su obra por aquí y por allá. Hay una agradable variedad de temas y enfoques por autores muy d...
The story selection is outstanding. There isn't a stinker in here. The Halloween reminiscences are pretty uneven. Some authors obviously put some heart and effort into it and others seemed to treat it as an uninspiring chore.
2 amazing stories, 1 pretty wonderful ('though it feels rushed). All are pleasant, but the weight of fond homage keeps most stuck in second gear. If you're a Bradbury fan--and why wouldn't you be--this is just fine, thank you, as we do a slow lap around familiar neighborhoods: lots of kids and par...
For reasons I can’t explain, I don’t read many short stories. Occasionally, a book comes along that makes me question my novel-centric reading choices. Shadow Show is one of those books.It is definitely a fantastic (in both senses of this word) collection. First, you have authors like Margaret Atwoo...
An uneven anthology that is nevertheless worth picking up based on the strength of a few gems, most notably the King/Hill collaboration "Throttle", F. Paul Wilson's "Recalled", "Comeback" by Ed Gorman, and "Return to Hell House" by Nancy Collins.
Reading this anthology brought me back to the days when I first discovered science fiction, and realized that I loved it. The last anthology that Rob Serling put together before his death, it focuses more on 'hard' sci-fi than Twilight Zone fans might expect, but still contains a healthy dose of the...
Nearly every story within this book is powerful and compelling in its own right. I’ll address each individual story, but overall this is one of my favorite anthologies. It’s dark, it’s gritty, and it doesn’t hold back on addressing some of the darker aspects of humanity. This book is not for those w...
I always have a hard time reviewing anthologies, at least when they are by multiple authors. I kind of feel like unless I rate each individual story, it doesn't really matter. I mean, my review is basically always gonna be the same unless an anthology totally sucks or every story is awesome. "Some s...
