Alfred Hitchcock loves his work - but even he has to admit his schedule is getting overcrowded. From the moment he wakes with dawn breaking over the cemetery to the midnight screams that lull him to sleep after a long day's lethal labors, the master of the macabre has barely a moment free of fiendish fun and gory goings-on. But what is wearing for Hitchcock is wonderful for the reader, as Hitchcock comes up wi the pick of the crop from his non-stop harvest of horror. Here are fifteen tales to terrify by such all-time top spellbinders.

So this was my first time reading a Alfred Hitchcock Book and I did enjoy the spookiness, mystery and suspense of this book.
At first it started out slow but thankfully picked up in the 2nd story with thrills chills and scary situations beyond compare.
I will definitely read more of his books in the future!!

Like most Alfred Hitchcock story collections definitely had its Highs and lows. I enjoyed the Sir Peter Whimsy story the best.
