2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment, February 12, 2011
This review is from: Dark Delicacies II: Fear (Paperback)
I found this collection disappointing. There were a handful of stories that I did not deem as 'horror' at all. Out of the other tales, only half were memorable or well-constructed and only half of those did I actually like. There were also a handful of typos and while I understand we all make typographical errors, in a volume this small I expect less than three...not more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the Collection!, January 4, 2010
This review is from: Dark Delicacies II: Fear (Paperback)
90% of the stories were great! The others still pretty good. A wide range of tales, from monsters, zombies, supernatural, and just plain old strange. Worth a look for sure.

3.0 out of 5 stars a little of a let down, November 17, 2009
This review is from: Dark Delicacies II: Fear (Paperback)
The first Dark Delicacies was fantastic. I bought the second hoping for a repeat. However, this book has a few stories that just aren't that great. Fortunately, the Joe R. Lansdale short is worth the purchase of the book.
