It’s a pretty entertaining monster book, and a decent rebound from other more “sophisticated” Horror novels I read recently that ended up not working for me. Anyway, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories will likely be my next Horror pick, and I plan to bounce back and forth between it and the short stories in Woolrich’s Nightmare. After that, maybe a sustained short story focus for weeks…not sure yet.

Enjoyable - but very familiar territory, particularly if one has read Guy N. Smith. But that’s fine, this is exactly what I wanted right now.

I’m at the point where I need a Horror novel to dazzle me; I’ve had a rough time with a succession of Horror choices over several weeks, and other years, when this has happened Sept.-Oct., I have actually dropped Horror and read almost all Crime & Mystery until Halloween. I’m not inclined to give up just yet, but I need good Horror as soon as possible…
