I love The Velt, so I had to pick this up. Mixed reviews - some stories are fantastic, some are very allegorical, and some are not as great. I would still recommend reading!
Sublime collection of 19 horror/fantasy short stories.
Beautifully written and highly imaginative. From scary (The Small Assassin); to downright twisted (The Jar); to comic-macabre (Skeleton); but, most of all, sad (The Dwarf, The Lake, The Emissary, The Cistern).
A wonderful reading experience.

For the Canadians among us , picture Stuart McLean writing a book cantered around the month of October and Halloween and you have Ray Bradbury’S October Country . Classic read .

I loved this collection. I've been informed I can never read it again because I got rather paranoid in the process, but I still think about these stories.
It's so hard not to like Ray Bradbury. Watching interviews with him puts you in mind of everybody's favorite uncle, who is never without a tale to tell. This is a pretty good collection of his work; a couple creeped me out, particularly The Next in Line.
I recommend it, if only for Bradbury's gift of campfire story-telling.

"The Scythe" and "Uncle Einar" are two of my all-time favorite shorts. I love that the spooky short stories are all bound into this one volume. A perfect read for Halloween time.
