5.0

This book took me right back to being a youngster in the seventies and eighties, and discovering horror books. The thrill of spending a winters afternoon reading Ghost Story, anything by SK, HP Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe. God, I nearly forgot. Ramsey Campbell! Anthologies edited by Kirby McCauley! I've still got my copy of Dark Forces!

Masters of Horror was a great read with some excellent stories. I can't tell you how much I despise that romantic-supernatural-fantasy crap that dominates the shelves in Waterstones. What happened, horror! There was always a Horror section in book shops, and you knew what you were getting. Thank you Matt Shaw. More please!
