innae's review against another edition
3.0
Seeing the World by Ramsey Campbell - beware of neighbors with slides..seems like I might have seen something like this on twilight zone or the like. Good story.
The Threads by Christopher Fowler - creepy. And a treatise on privilege.
Little Dedo by Nancy Holder - a Disney tale of the darker side.
The Dark Country by Dennis Etchison - a bit “I Know What You Did Last Summer” but not my favorite story.
The Anguish of Departure by Roberta Lannes - a sad story. I feel anguish thinking about it, and the fear of being lost in a foreign city is tangible. A really good telling of a sad tale.
The Cave by Basil Cooper - not sure when I finally started reading the gothic ghost stories (where a group of usually men, gather to share scary stories), but I am glad I did. Excellent method for sharing a tale.
Survival of the Fittest by Scott Edelman - more sad than scary, made me have to take a break and get my cry on.
The Landlock by Elizabeth Massie - creepy! Super creepy. I really enjoyed this one in a dark way
Richard Riddle, Boy Detective, in “The Case of the French Spy” by Kim Newman - reminded me a bit of The Goonies. An enjoyable tale.
In the Pines by Karl Edward Wagner - one of my favs thus far. A cabin in the woods story.
A Gentleman from Mexico by Mark Samuels - wow. I really enjoyed this homage to Lovecraft.
The City of Love by Joel Lane - meh
The Charnel House by D. Lynn Smith - I liked this one..reminded me of my friends who went to Egypt and did some pagan rituals..glad they made it back home safely
Millwell by Glen Hirshberg - beware the crevasse..and also glaciers are icy
The Bohemian of the Arbat by Sarah Pinborough - thought I knew where this was going and then it detoured..similar result tho
Not Our Brother by Robert Silverberg - “If you wish to swallow Mexico, you must swallow some danger with it, like the salt with the tequila. If you want sunlight, you must have a little darkness.” (Pg 339)
Tasting a little danger can change your world.
The Sun, the Sea and the Silent Scream by Brian Lumley - Lumley is a great writer..his Necroscope series is one of the best sci-fi/horror series I have read. This story is icky. It makes me itch. And it’s really good.
Being Right by Michael Marshall Smith - a nice story about a book lover and his wife.
In the Hills, the Cities by Clive Barker - weird and a bit gory. I expected no less from Barker.
Incognito, Inc. by Harlan Ellison - a cute story, with lots of name (place?) dropping.
