I highly recommend this megapack - because it is cheap and contains many great stories. Most of them are far from 5 star artistic extravaganza, but they are at least decent.
Not bad Some of the stories are long, expecting shorter written ones, but that's my preference. Overall pretty good stories can't complain for the price.
A gnat's away from a 5-star, this book. The main reason it's not attained top marks is because there are four or five short stories contained herein that the editors have included in other anthologies they've released.I know. That's harsh; and when you've read enough anthologies, you're bound to come across a few duplicates. But 5 out of 25? That's 20% in anyone's book.So, let's look at the positives: for all that, there's not a weak link in the chain in the whole collection.What this book does
Read solely for "To Become a Sorcerer", World Fantasy Award nominee for best Novella, by Darrell Schweitzer.This is like a coming of age story, as the son of one of the most formidable and notorious sorcerers desperately wants to avoid inheriting his father's legacy, yet is inexplicably drawn to follow his path. The author depicts a fascinating view of sorcery as a hungry force that consumes and transforms, extracting a heavy toll on those who wield it. Much of the story takes place in the realm...
A few weak stories, but mostly a pretty good collection.
Good book I like to read short stories at bred time. Finishing the story doesn't keep me awake. Scary stories are the best.
Great collection of Weird Fiction tales from classics by H.P.Lovecraft to more obscure works by Earl Pierce Jr.I will comment briefly on what I thought were the stand-out tales in this collection;BOY BLUE, by Steve Rasnic TemReally amazing short story, Immediately drew me into it with a heavy atmosphere of dread and some deeply disturbing imagery. TO BECOME A SORCERER, by Darrell SchweitzerBeautiful, dreamlike atmosphere of a young boy's journey through a mystical world filled with magic and hor...
A very entertaining anthology of weird fiction. Well worth a read.
Decent selectionFairly decent selection in this volume. There's some strong entries, a couple clunkers, but overall enjoyable. It wasn't a waste of time.
These megapack collections are quite fun, and you can't beat the price at .99 for the ebook! If one broke down the price per word, it would have to be tiny fractions of a cent per word. Quite a value in this day of ebooks being overpriced for the most part. This collection, like most others, was hit and miss for me. Overall, good, with only a few that fell flat for me. I highly recommend this megapack, and honestly, have not been disappointed with any one I have read.
Adrian ChisholmThis collection lived up to it's name. It seemed like the writers were just in the right mind for these stories. I enjoyed them slot.
I like a little "weird" fiction now and then, but an entire collection of it is just too much for my taste.Very Lovecraftian horror tales, if that's your kind of cake, go for it!

Not a bad collection, actually. It’s a glimpse through the window of what it would have been like if you were an avid reader of Weird Tales magazine in the 1930s (and the 1940s and 1950s, tales from all three decades are on display here). Of course I’m sure what we have here is the crème de la crème. The magazine’s publishers put out an edition once a month, so sometimes quality control was bound to slip. Without a doubt there will be stories that are lost and deserve to be lost, but I’m glad th...
