Awesome

I have this entire series and I would not part with it. Too bad it's out of stock now. I feel lucky to already own it. Good luck trying to get it.

One of the Best Anthologies I've Read

This is one of the best Anthologies I've read yet. It is ashame it is falling out of print. Monteleone did a very commendable job editing this one, as I liked more of the stories in this one than in any previous anthology I've read. The best work in the book is "Stephen," the Bram Stoker Award winning Short Story (I actually think they counted it as a Novella) by Elizabeth Massie. Also very good was the ever-wonderful Poppy Z. Brite's "His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood." Yes, that is Brite's most collected story, but this anthology was the first place it appeared. Ed Gorman--an author I've not particularly cared for in the past--also contributed a short piece I thought was wonderful: "The Black Sedan." This is just a few wonderful pieces. Yes, it has a few that aren't worth the reading--most notably Joe R. Lansdale's contribution--but overall this is a great anthology.

inspiring

I read this book about a year ago and the stories seriously inspired me into the world of, as the editor, puts it, "HDF" or "horror/dark fantasy". Stories like 'Evelyn Grace' continue to well in my mind as twisted, dark little gems.The book is deserved of a look. I am no fan of horror but these stories are much better, darker, twisted but quite subtle as well. I have ordered all 4 and keenly await them so I can once more immerse myself in the wonderful little world of "HDF"...

Go deeper into the world of imagination and horror.

This is not your typical rendation of vampires and werewolves, these stories dwell into the deeper recesses of the mind and come out with unimaginable dark stories that will provoke you. I assure you, you will never be satisfied with a "normal" horror story again.
