This review is from: The Year's Best Horror 14 (Paperback)
Out of the 19 or so short stories in this collection, 4 of them REALLY stood out for me: Pinewood by Tanith Lee, Mother's Day by Stephen F. Wilcox, Red Christmas by David S. Garnett, and In Late December Before The Storm by Paul M. Sammon. These were far & away the best of the whole lot - entertaining, riveting, beautiful writing, easy to follow, and spooky as all get out. On the other hand, there were a few duds in this collection: stuff by Wayne Allen Sallee, Vincent McHardy, Michael Reaves, Simon Clark, and Ramsey Campbell (how does this guy get work?) all of which I found to be almost unreadable they were so strange, hard to follow, uninteresting, and I literally could not wait for them to be over!
I'm a big collector on paperback horror anthologies, and always mark lightly in pencil which stories I "rate" as good on the table of contents, as I'm going through the book. So that way years later I can look back at the list of stories and save myself the time of weeding through the boring and/or stupid ones, and get right to the good stuff. Other standout awesome contributions to The Year's Best Horror Vol. 14 were by David B. Silva, Leonard Carpenter, and Christopher Burns. All the rest of the stories were just "okay" in my opinion.
