The last story "Safe" is an unbelieveable lesson in the ever widening ripple that an act of violence causes. Very graffic description that then casues you to feel the ripple
Senza dubbio ci si rende conto di quando si ha per le mani un libro assolutamente di valore, ed è difficile riuscire a trovarne. A maggior ragione se si tratta di antologie: autori diversi, stili diversi, con il solo punto in comune del genere. Unire thriller e horror, se fatto in modo sapiente, ha dato origine in questo caso a una raccolta che vale tutte le sue cinque stelle.Ventidue racconti di ventidue autori, è il grande Stephen King ad aprire le danze con un racconto su uno dei peggiori inc...
ორი სიტყვით ვიტყვი, უძლიერესი წიგნია!
This was a fantastic anthology of stories! A great read!
A cura del grande scrittore horror Robert Bloch, una raccolta di racconti che sviscerano l'orrore da tutti i punti di vista possibili.Come sempre quando si tratta di racconti, la qualità non è omogenea, ma il livello è comunque abbastanza alto.
A mixed bag - like most short story collections. I did find some new authors that I want to read more of though.
One of the stories I enjoyed in this book was by Edo Van Belkom
Excellent read by top horror authors taking you into various worlds of madness and psychotic people.
bunch of shorts should be good judging by the back cover pretty good fast stories
My ratings + reviews for each story in this collection:Autopsy Room Four by Stephen King - 4 / 5A man who is presumed to be dead is about to be autopsied... but is he really dead? Will he "wake up" in time before he is cut open? I liked this story. It's scary and a bit funny at times. You really feel for the narrator.Haunted by Charles Grant - 2.5 / 5I was intrigued by this one up until the end, which left me a bit confused. The protagonist of this story is a homeless man who is somehow involved...
I haven't read all the stories in this book, but really enjoyed the ones I did read...especially the short story by Stephen King.
What a waste.............Totally predictable endings designed to intrigue the reader.Didn't work.
Great stories.
All in All a good anthology. Had several stories I liked a lot.It advertises as having a new story from Stephen King, but the story has now been published in other books...but Autopsy Room four is still a good tale.I also enjoyed: Grandpa's Head (mostly because it made you wonder...what if I found that?), Point of Intersection (a time travel tale, with a twist. Very well written), Interview with a Psycho (never trust someone who tells you he has killed), and Safe (because it made me think of the...
Good spooky stuff
ორი სიტყვით დავახასიათებ, უბრალოდ ძალიან ძლიერი წიგნია!
An excellent collection of short horror fiction includes the following stories by contributing authors from the Horror Writers Association: "Autopsy Room Four" by Stephen King "Haunted" by Charles L. Grant "Out There in the Darkness" by Ed Gorman "Please Help Me" by Richard Christian Matheson "The Lesser of Two Evils" by Denise M. Bruchman "Point of Intersection" by Dominick Cancilla "Doctor, Lawyer, Kansas City Chief" by Brent Monahan "Grandpa's Head" by Lawrence Watt-Evans "Lonelyhearts" by Es...
This one is a mixed bag. Some of the stories are excellent, some I felt I was drudging through. The Jack ripper story and the mother and child story were both worth the cost of the book tho and def recommended for horror fans
This is by far one of the best anthologies I have ever read....and I have read a LOT of anthologies. Robert Bloch passed away before he was done editing it and I think that it is a very fitting last work for one of the all-time masters of the horror/thriller. I would recommend this book to EVERYONE. My particular favorite is the final story in the collection; "Safe" by Gary A Braunbeck is one of the best-written short stories I've had the privilege of reading.
A less-than-average anthology. Nothing too exciting or unpredictable. The only stories that stood out were "Lonelyhearts", "Echoes", "Blameless" and "Deep Down There". The others were OK at best.
