Poe's Children: The New Horror by Peter Straub
2.0
What a disappointment.
I couldn't even read all of the stories, so many of them were THAT bad. This is not a horror anthology, or anything close to the horror genre. I know Straub had labeled it the "new" horror, but only a few of the many could be classified as anything close. Bummer, because I was looking for a gripping read. I liked a couple of stories, which is why I gave it two stars instead of one.
