Best New Horror Volume 15,
By J. Connor "film and book fanatic'." (Palm Desert, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror, Vol. 15 (Paperback)
In spite of the other negative reviews for this horror anthology, I find the stories in the 15th installment in the "Best New Horror" to be quite interesting, even if they are more on the strange side than the scary side. He are some of the stories in this anthology that I have thus far read:
"Fear the Dead"- A young boy copes mysteriously with the death of his grandmother. "Seven Feet"- An ancient rat plague gruesomely returns to modern society. "Hunter Lake"- Creepy happenings at a haunted marsh lake. "Cell Call"- A very interesting story about a man trapped in a Twilight Zone-like place in the far off woods. "The Bereavement Photographer"- A mysterious tale of a man who photographs couples and dead children. He begins to notice weird details in his photos. "Mr. Sly Goes for a Cup of Joe"- A real life story about a store robbery. I am still reading the others, and suggust you read them all as well. Though this may not be as strong as the previous entries in the series, it is still worth reading and purchasing for 13 bucks.

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror, Vol. 15 (Paperback)
This is the second (and last) "Horror" book I try edited by Stephen Jones. He doesn't seem to understand the meaning of horror or being entertained by spooky/scary stories! The stories are WEAK, and none are actually scary.

Just barely 3 stars,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror, Vol. 15 (Paperback)
I have to agree with the other reviews on this one, I have a couple other Mammoth Books of Best New Horror and they are much better than this one. I am glad I got it used for just a couple bucks, I would have been much more disappointed if I had paid full price for it. A handful of good stories, and I would hardly categorize those few as scary. Really mostly filler.
