Reviews

[Rob Frampton · Rating 4 out of 5]

A clutch of horror-some goodies to pass a couple of hours. Henry Kuttner's 'Graveyard Rats' is the wonderfully horrible pick of the bunch.

This book has lived rent free in my head ever since I read it as a teenager. Have just revisited it and it still unsettles me as a 34 year old.

Excellent anthology meant as an introduction for young people to the horror genre.
