The Mammoth Book of Haunted House Stories by Peter Haining

3.0

It took me a while to read this because I tended to read a short story or two between books, but I really enjoyed most of the stories. It is quite uneven though some stories are really good, others just make you say : "bah". I think my favorite part of the book is the last section where the favorite haunted house short stories of the stars of horror movies are presented; I especially liked the favorite of Vincent Price The Waxwork by A.M. Burrage. I also really enjoyed Boris Karloff's favorite The Storm by McKnight Malmar; this one is all about atmosphere. Taken as a whole the book is good enough and I think fans of the genre should be satisfied, I am.
