Awesome. Just awesome. A few of these stories (like Big Steve's "Chattery Teeth") I had previously read within the pages of Richard Chizmar's marvelous semi-pulp, which I used to be able to get in local book stores. The subscription price was pretty dear, so I've been missing it for a while, then I ran across this title in a used book store. I think I gave a buck for it.No, really. I'm almost ashamed.But really. 300+ pages of QUALITY, that's what you've got here. It's pretty rare that a collecti...
This is by far the best horror anthology I've ever read. The stories in this book will stay with you long after you've read them. I read it almost a year ago and donated it to a thrift shop so someone else may experience the horrors; and the stories are still quite fresh in my mind. These writers represent the absolute best in their field -- at the time. If you're sensitive to some of the themes raised in this book (chaos, violence, sickness, death, entropy, mental/physical/sexual abuse) then yo...
Some of the stories were really creepy. The one with the midget gave me chills. The Rendering Man still makes me shiver!
Too often laughter is mistaken for the sound of happiness-Gary A. BraunbeckSome were complete stories that blew me away, horror at its best. Some were dark and twisted making you question the authors sanity. Some were unfinished, leaving you irritated and thinking. What a great collection. Great writing combined with interesting stories make me look forward to book two as well at Cemetery Dances new collections
This book is filled with a ton a excellent story. Stories like; The Rifle, The Rabbit, The Right Thing, Pig's diner, Crash Cart and many more are all must read. Realy into it now to read the second Volume.
I've been struggling to find a short story collection able to maintain my interest and have consistency throughout. Finally find one! A few duds but mostly solid pieces. The 2 stories by Gary Braunbeck were stand-outs. An author I'd like to discover further. My rating for each selection:1. Chattery Teeth: 4/5 (how can you go wrong with the Master)2. The Box: 4/5 3. Halceldama: 4.5/5 (wow!)4. The Pig Man: 2/55. Mobius: 1/5 (didn't get this one at all)6. The Rendering Man: 3/57. Weight: 3/58. Layo...
I glanced at some of the reviews listed. Looks like you either love it or hate it. I admit it is a tough read. There are no happy endings, no relief to the suffering, no rational solutions in these stories. They are gruesome and frightening and scary and sickening and more. More frightening than a slasher movie. Scarier than "only a story" should be, they stay with you -- leave a lingering sense of foreboding. Just what you want in a good scare.
I never would have seen myself as a fan of horror. However, horror isn't what I used to think, at least horror like the stories in this collection. If you are a fan of slipstream, urban fantasy, the uncanny valley, all that---I think you'll love this book. It's a HUGE collection. I figured I'd read maybe a fourth of the stories or so and skip the rest after trying the first few paragraphs, as I often do with short stories. However, I think there was only two or three in the whole book I skipped....
HATED IT!!!. The story Layover by Ed Gorman was contrived but featured a clever female pivotal character.Unfortunately, it was the best story in the collection. The rest of the stories were just plain dumb. Why pick up a pen just to produce a vastly inferior copy of an E. A Poe story? That is what all the authors in this collection should be asking themselves.All the stories feature boring, predictable scenarios with some really gross details. As soon as I came across the short story featuring p...
great anthology. All killer, no filler.
One of my new favorite horror collections!
Another solid collection put together by the folks at Cemetery Dance.
A great collection by some of the masters of the genre.
A great selection of short horror stories. Some of the stories were very creepy and I would not recommend reading this before going to sleep unless you are into having nightmares.
please if \you locate this book sue let me know i love to read it and own it been looking for it for years it seems=l/ya's
Giant collection of the best horror stories culled from the magazine over the years. They've trimmed the fat, definitely more hit than miss.
