4.0 out of 5 stars
A really good collection of scary stories, June 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Year's Best Horror 22 (Year's Best Horror Stories) (Paperback)
Wagner has compiled another really good collection of some really good stories. There are plenty here that I considered to slowly sneak up and scare me. Then to top it off, Wagner, while providing a biography for each author, comes up with a theory involving cats and coffee that is as fun to read. I found myself looking forward to the biographies as much as I was looking forward to the stories. Consider this collection recommended. Some of my favorites are below.
"The Ripper's Tune" by Gregory Nicoll - Jack the Ripper lays claim to a rock song.
"One Size Eats All" by T.E.D. Klein - A typo? Or not?
"Resurrection" by Adam Meyer - A scary tale of life after death, after death...
"David" by Sean Doolittle - A stranger has a request which he insists gets done.
"Ridi Bobo" by Robert Devereaux - It's a clown's world after all.
"Momento Mori" by Scott Thomas - The dead speak through tombstones.
"Ice Cream and Tombstones" by Nira Kiriki - A story most people can probably relate to.
