Classic Monsters Unleashed by James Aquilone

3.0

This collection is a mixed bag of short stories taking on classic monsters from literature or movies--The Blob, Dracula, and others. Most are clever and fun to read, but there are a few that are slogs that could have been better. The organization of the stories is such that most of the really strong ones come first, leaving a weaker middle and end. The final story, but Joe Lansdale, is perhaps the most viscerally horrifying. The illustrations are superfluous and not particularly well-executed or interesting.
