Another one I've picked up during my last fiscally ruinous horror buying spree and have yet to read through; this is, like The Best of Cemetery Dance and Midnight Graffiti, a 'greatest hits' package of horror stories from David B. Silva's small-press magazine The Horror Show.

It's an interesting little collection; none of this represents any of these authors at their best, I think, but rather in a comfortable groove of solid quality.
