This is a collection of short stories in the horror genre;
saving the world from forces of evil.
I picked this collection up as I noticed it contained a
story by Stephen King; one of my all-time favourite authors. Granted it was one
already published, but I wanted to compare it to some of the authors I had not
had the chance to read before. The
collection was a bit of a hit and miss with me. I really enjoyed some of the
stories while others ended and I had no idea what I was supposed to have read.
I hate that dissatisfying feeling where you finish reading something and
realise you have just wasted minutes of your day for something you didn't
enjoy. Luckily it didn't happen very often here and I did learn of a few new
authors I would like to try out.
Unfortunately I was shocked at the editing mistakes-surely
with such a large collaboration there might only be a few mishaps? Not in this
however; almost every story had some sort of error creeping through it.
Worth it if you want to find new authors, but if you are
looking for a gripping horror collection; just average.
