5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, chilling read, November 7, 1999
By 
Louisianian (Lake Charles, LA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Lonely Place (Hardcover)
Karl Edward Wagner's intelligent, clearly written tales of terror are among the genre's best, and it is sad that this book is out of print. The story "Sticks," which I first read nearly ten years ago, is still as haunting to me today as it was the day I read it. This story seem like an inspiration (or at least a precursor) for the use of stick bundles in the (far inferior) movie "The Blair Witch Project." "The River of Nights Dreaming," a pull-out-all-the-stops tale of a desperate female prison escapee who stumbles into the midst of some extremely strange and kinky goings-on, is also hard to forget. In fact, there is not a boring or forgettable story in this collection. Most of Wagner's stories aren't excessively subtle, but they are well-crafted, satisfying horror yarns. If you are interested in short horror fiction, you cannot do better than to read Karl Edward Wagner, in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best collections ever!, October 3, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: In a Lonely Place (Paperback)
This excellent volume of short stories will repay any reader with dividends! Contains not just the classic "Sticks"
but also one of my all-time favorites, ".222 Swift." Find, buy,
and read this book. And won't some publisher reprint it?

This review is from: In a Lonely Place (Hardcover)
For me, theres not much to say about Wagner, except I wish he was still with us, writing. He really had a way of getting inside my head with his work
