I'm not one for short stories, but this is the perfect type of that kind of book. Chewy, interesting, but not annoyingly short. Vignettes that offer mystery and shock, plus an introduction to characters and writers I'd not experienced before.

I liked the concept of this collection. Some of the stories were good. Three of them were, for me, unfinishable. As long as you don't feel compelled to read every word, this is a worthwhile book.

A mixed bag of tales, most of them highly entertaining.
I hadn't heard of many of these authors and was much impressed with their writing . The narrators did a good job.
Loved all the tales within this collection , my individual rating would range from 3 to 5 stars, only a couple of the stories getting 3 , rest all.4 or 5. Would love to read this again some time later in life.

Well, I picked this for our mystery book club because it was a short story collection that was available in Large print.
Some stories were good, some were SOOOOO creepy and others fell a little flat.

A compelling collection of stories that will have you re-thinking your definition of the word "mystery." Not a weak story in the bunch.
