katiecatbooks's review against another edition

A great collection of read-in-the-dark horror stories from many well-known authors (Stephen King) and some author you don't know, and should check out!
Pacing: Most of the stories are short-you can read the whole thing in one sitting. Others are longer and have breaks to stop at, and you'll be looking forward to the next time you pick the book up.
Frame: dark and stormy, ghostly, other-worldly, these all describe the stories included in this collection. A few whimsical, but mostly chilling, a good variety of storytelling.
Check it out, even just for the Stephen King!

I don't think there was a single story in this book that I didn't enjoy and a couple of them actually made me a little nervous. One even managed to make me turn on some extra lights because I started seeing things out of the corners of my eyes.

This was the usual mixed bag as horror anthologies go. The story I liked best was The Oram County Whoosit by Steve Duffy, which has a distinct Cthulhu Mythos flavor. You might enjoy The Camping Wainrights if, like me, you come from a camping family. The Beginnings of Sorrow was memorable in a fingernails-on-the-blackboard kind of way.
