5.0

One fine collection of classic, vintage horror tales with just the right amount of unsettling chill. Brennan wrote hundreds of stories which were accomplished and quite noteworthy. His poems number in the thousands. All of his stories I have read are well-written and memorable. I have two more collections I plan to read and I'm looking forward to reacquainting myself.

When I was a teenager I wrote a letter to Brennan querying about his magazine Macabre. He responded with a typed, signed card containing pertinent details. Foolishly, I never replied; I have always regretted that.
