Status Updates From The Arbor House Treasury of...

This collection has been a bit disappointing so far. Two exceptions were "Sardonicus" by Ray Russell and "Man Overboard" by Winston Churchill (!).

The book consists of two sections, the "Grand Masters" of horror and the "Modern Masters" (it was published in 1981). I'm reading one story from each section before moving on, for variety's sake. I've read a number of these previously.

Hop Frog, Edgar Allan Poe - 3⭐
Rappucinni's Daugher, Nathaniel Hawthorne - 2⭐
The Scarlet King, Evan Hunter - 4 ⭐
Sticks, Karl Edward Wagner - (an old favorite; very creepy) 5⭐
