Poe's Children: The New Horror by Peter Straub

3.0

Not really a book of scary stories, some weird (in a good way), some weird (in a bad way), and some weird (in a WTF did I just read way). I did skip around in order to read Neil Gaiman, Steven King and Joe Hill last as those are authors I enjoy. Joe Hill especially knows how to write a chilly story, that one gave me goose bumps, the other ones I read mostly in order and found myself less and less impressed as I went on. A visit to the test site of a bomb, not really scary, or really much of anything, same as a story about a fellow who lives alone and likes music. Maybe this should have been called "stories about nothing in particular, most of which will have you scratching your head."
