4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, Intriguing Stories for Mystery Lovers, February 5, 2005

By	Science Fiction Reader (Pocatello, ID) - See all my reviews

I have read many of Alfred Hitchcock's series of horror/mystery books and this is one of the best. Almost all of the stories are worth reading. The most particularly notable ones are: Tomorrow and Tomorrow (Adobe James)(an absolutely horrendous story about revenge), A Good Head for Murder (Charles Runyon), Invisible Cat (Betty Ren Wright), and The Distributor (Richard Matheson). I think that A Good Head for Murder as well as Invisible Cat are absolutely two of the best suspense short stories that I have ever read.
A great book for mystery/horror lovers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Appearance vs. Reality, May 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Alfred Hitchcock Presents Stories to Be Read With the Door Locked (Paperback)

A lot of the stories are great stories that show the depiction of appearance vs. reality. One for example of this is the story "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" by Adoboe James. This story is a a short story that has you seeing how things may seem one way, but not be true at all

3.0 out of 5 stars Alfred Hitchcock Presents Stories to Be Read With the Door L, May 12, 2000

By	Will Thornton - See all my reviews

If you enjoy thrilling short stories than this book is a fun read. Although it is my opinion that only one in two stories are worthy of recommendation, I was genuinely disappointed when I realized that I had read every one (I did not read the stories in the order they were published). Plus, it is worth mentioning that three stories in this book alone are worth the trouble of finding this book and reading it.
