This anthology I thought was well done. Without being too spoiley, some of the stories were very "out of the box," which is what I enjoy. One story, (for me), stood out: "Trouble Follows," by David B. Silva was one of those masterpieces that is SO rare these days. Stephen King also had, for the first time in print, "The Crate," which was made into a short for the movie "Creepshow" in the 80s. If you like top-notch writing (and don't mind reading 410 pages, since some are novella stories) you WIL...more
Pretty good anthology for Halloween, and several stories gave me the willies. I started with mini-reviews for each of the stories, but then got lazy. Aside from the ones below, I liked "Palisado", "Ghost Writer in My Eye", "I Found a Little Hole", and "Mole."
A couple of stories got a little squicky, but I suppose that is to be expected in the horror genre.

Extremely varied collection of short fiction, ranging from excellent to really bad stories. My favorite was the opener, Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn's "Serial". From there, the stories go up and down in quality. And Brian Keene's contribution is one page long. Okay overall, but I wouldn't spend money on a book like this. Glad it was at my local library!
Excellent collection of short stories. Contains:
"Serial" by Blake Crouch & Jack Kilborn
"The Crate" a novella by Stephen King
"The Last Beautiful Day" by Brian James Freeman
"Cobwebs" by Kealan Patrick Burke
"The Old Ways" by Norman Prentiss
"Waiting for Darkness" by Brian Keene
"Like Lick 'Em Sticks, Like Tina Fey" by Glen Hirshberg
"Ghost Writer in My Eye" by Wayne Allen Sallee
"Palisado" by Alan Peter Ryan
"Stillness" by Richard Thomas
"In the Raw" by Brian Hodge
"I Found a Little Hole" by Nate Sout...more

I received this book through GoodReads giveaway program and I'm so glad I did! If you like those spine-tingling tales, this is definitely the book for you! All the stories were well written and each had its own unique plot line. I would definitely recommend this book.
I've read two stories so far. I bought the book because it contains a short story by Stephen King called "The Crate", which is a previously unpublished story. The story may be familiar if you saw the movie "Creepshow." It starred Hal Holbrook. It is good recreation of this short story. I went back and am currently reading the first story in the collection called "Serial." This short story is about what might happen when two serial killers meet. I will post more about this book later.

I'll read more of Scott Nicholson's work. His short piece in this collection is set in a post nuclear fallout world. The Dystopian theme is one of my favorites.
