This is NOT a Horror Anthology!,
This review is from: Satan's Daughter and Other Tales from the Pulps (Paperback)
I was thoroughly disappointed with Satan's Daughter as an anthology. Despite the garish "weird menace" cover, there are only TWO horror tales in it (IIRC); most are western, adventure or detective yarns... Having bought this book unseen online thinking it was an all-horror anthology from the MISLEADING COVER, one can only imagine how bitter my disappointment was upon cracking open the covers.
The title story, Satan's Daughter, was itself a fine read, as was its companion horror tale, something about voodoo zombies on a southern plantation whose title escapes me at the moment. As to the rest of the yarns, I dislike any anthology that mixes genres on principle, and Satan's Daughter proves no exception, something the editors at Wildside Press might consider the next time they're putting together and marketing an anthology. If you put a horror cover on it, you will attract primarily horror fans, and they will NOT be happy to see you've "cheated" them by filling up your page count with stories from other genres. What kills me is that the publisher could have filled the book up with more quality "weird menace" tales by E. Hoffman Price, but deliberately chose not to! Therefore, this book is for E. Hoffman Price completists only. Horror fans should look elsewhere, in particular the Girasol Collectibles series of super-high quality pulp reprints: HORROR TALES, TERROR TALES, SPICY MYSTERY STORIES... These will satisfy your cravings for shuddersome thrills from 1930's pulp writers far better than this book's boring mish-mash.
