Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

With signs of summer popping up all around like crocuses, patrons will soon be looking for books to tote along on vacation. Perhaps better suited for reading aloud around the campfire than at the beach, this collection of short horror stories features established classics by writers such as Conan Doyle, Poe, and Robert Bloch, as well as modern tales by D.R. Meredith and Sharyn McCrumb. Editor Greenburg, who won the 1989 Milford Award for lifetime achievement in science fiction, is among the best short story anthologists around, having put together over 200 of them, so this is bound to be a crowd pleaser. For those who can't get enough of a good scare, more startling goings on can be found in Claire McNally's Hear the Children Calling (June. ISBN 0-7278-4153-X. $19.95) and Andrew Neiderman's Perfect Little Angels (July. ISBN 0-7278-4150-5. $17.95), both also available from Severn House.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a book that you just can not put down., February 14, 1999

This review is from: Hear the Children Calling (An Onyx Book) (Paperback)

I read this book when I was in highscool and just could not put it down. I probably read it a dozen times. Recently, I found it again and though I had read it numerous times before, it still had the same chilling effect as if I was reading it for the first time.
