5.0
*** Review Copy Purchased Online ***
The Chapel of the Chimes is a crematory and columbarium in Oakland, California in the United States. It is also the focus of all the stories collected in the anthology called Library of the Dead, edited by Michael Bailey. As I mentioned in my review of Chiral Mad 3, the illustrations in this tome are exquisite and did much to enhance the stories.
Throughout the anthology, there are interludes that divide sections of stories and while I think it can be a neat narrative technique to tie stories together, I could have done without them, but they were written very well.
As with all anthologies, not every story is a winner, but every story here was of an exceptionally high calibre and I would highly recommend horror readers to add Library of the Dead to their shelves.
