Above average collection of stories that were apparently from a semi-regular publication called appropriately Dark Masques; probably something like Charles Grant's Shadows anthologies. The usual range of stuff including the ubiquitous King and Campbell stories (do these guys ever get up from the typewriter?). This book must be fairly popular because it has been reprinted multiple times since 1995 when it first appeared. This reprint is a mmpb from 2012.

I had a lot of "around the campfire" fun with it.… (plus d'informations)

Two children: their mother dead, their father vanished, are separated at the orphanage and raised apart. Years later she has loving family but is still haunted by nightmares. He, strangely untouched by the years, ends up on the streets of New York, pulling scams to get by. Meanwhile, a killer is on the prowl. He keeps his face hidden and prefers the night and he is searching for the children he lost.

This book was an absolute slog. I would give the author credit for their clever subversion of the vampire novel, but the result is so unreadable I just don't want to award any points. The plot crept forward by inches and the ending just cemented how much of a waste of time the book was. I made the mistake of telling my coworker, a young horror afficianado, about the book, so I had to finish it just to give her the review. It was much more scathing and colorful and spoiler-y two months ago. Now, it blissfully fades from my memory.… (plus d'informations)

Enjoyable collection of horror stories that apparently set on my various shelves for 30 years before being read, although some of the stories were familiar. These include Robert McCammon's unforgettable "Nightcrawlers," which was made into an equally unforgettable episode of the New Twilight Zone television series. F. Paul Wilson's "Soft" also makes an appearance here, and would later be quite appropriate reprinted in the Vandermeers' unsurpassed anthology THE WEIRD. Not all the stories are that good, but they are generally of high quality and by an all-star bunch. Stephen King's contribution, "Popsy," is a great story of someone getting his just reward. And there is a story by Ray Russell, who, as always delivers. When will ALL his short fiction be collected?… (plus d'informations)
