***Relato Menciona Grupo de Heavy Metal** (Reto sustos club Clásico es Leerte)

Relato:Rock'n Roll will never die- Max Allan Collins

"Lee Makes Alice Cooper Look like Alice in Wonderland" pag 288

El relato me pareció un tanto nasty en algunas cosas, ese tipo de cosas que dices " esto se nota fue escrito por un masculino pecho peludo, pero en una mala manera jajaja " Sobre todo cuando compara mujeres con Kleenex personales ( seeh, hay esa comparativa y se pone peor)
Pero fuera de eso, los aspectos de terror tradicional sobrenatural estuvieron pese a lo predecible del final, tiene sus toques de peli de terror de los 80 que te puedes meter en el lugar, sentir la música y el ambiente rockstar...

Creo que no hubiese llegado a él si no fuese por el reto, pero mira curioso relato. curioso curioso.

One of the greatest horror anthologies out there

You don't have to be a rock fan to appreciate this book (though it certainly does help). Music lovers of all genres will enjoy the story collection presented here.

great short stories, some I would love to try to film.

[Jim · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book does pretty well in putting together enough good stories to make the read worthwhile. I really only actively disliked one story, and the rest were good-enough to somewhat better.

If you like the subject matter, authors, or genre(s), probably worth reading.

There's some good stories here. At least as good as the original collection, and maybe a tad better for stories.
