The Dark Descent by David G. Hartwell

5.0

Excellent anthology/survey of short horror fiction that deserves its reputation. As with most anthologies, there will most certainly be some stories that grab the individual readers more than others, though there are more "hits" than "misses", by far. While reading it from cover-to-cover may not be the best way to experience it for everyone, it still earns a place on the shelf of lovers of dark fiction.
