Critiques
Hard to decide how many stars as this is a collection of stories. There are enough different styles to appeal to any mystery lover. I particularly enjoyed the humor in the Rupert Holmes, the efficiency of the Ed McBain and the devious Deaver.the mentions of favorites like Collins, Poe and Doyle was welcome, as was the chance to check out some of the authors I didn’t recognize.
Great eclectic and marvelously mixed bag of stories, most to all of which were excellent reads no matter their originating genre or sub-genre. I'm going to have to get a copy of this to keep, as I already want to reread some stories despite having returned this book to the library.
An uneven mix but worth the price of the book for "The Caxton Lending Library & Book Depository"by John Connolly.

The only one in here that I thought was a stinker was also the longest - "Z is for Zombie" by Theodore Roscoe. If you grow tired after 600 pages or so, I suggest skipping this last entry!
But BEWARE! “Eat Me” by Robert McCammon is nasty! Like it churned my stomach nasty! Eww…
Some zombie factoids I learned in these pages - they can come from the West Indies. Haiti. Africa. Lots of the time they are simply used as cheap labor! No salt rule (don't feed zombies anything with salt!). No meat rule.
A definition of a zombie appears in “Pigeons From Hell” by Robert E. Howard - “It’s a monster, something more and less than a human being, created by the magic that spawns in black swamps and jungles - well we’ll see.”
“When you sup with the devil, be sure you have a long spoon.”
“Greed inspires horrible things my dear…”… (plus d'informations)
