Poe's Children: The New Horror by Peter Straub

4.0

I initially borrowed this from the library to read the Thomas Ligotti story which is excellent. For the most part these stories are very good, literary fiction with horror or creepy or weird overtones. There are a couple of clunkers and at least one that is ruined by it's ending. There is a lot of switching between characters, points of view and locations with no warning, it takes more than that to make a truly creepy story
