Reviews

[Martin · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent collection of horror stories. Ranges from classic authors like E. A. Poe and J. LeFanu, through to more recent authors like Stephen King, and sci-fi/horror stories from people like Robert Sheckley and Frederic Brown. Not for the faint-hearted, though.
