5.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, May 26, 2008
An anthology that came about from discussions at the 1981 World Fantasy Convention - so that is the upper limit on story inclusion. Apparently a poll was taken, and these were the 18 stories that garnered the highest number of votes.

Looks like the voters indeed did a very good job coming up with their favorites.

There is a several page introduction tracing the history of horror stories, briefly, from the gentle English ghost story, to Weird Tales and Unknown Worlds up to Rosemary's Baby and the Stephen King phenomenon.

Also, a fairly attractive biography section, with a long paragraph on each author included in the book.

A man is murdered, and in no ordinary fashion. When law enforcement investigates this is the story he gets from a witness:

"and my G0d, sir, he was dead! His head had been split open. I saw brains and clotted blood oozing down his face, and his face"

It appears there is a zuvembie in town, the long awaited aftermath of a property that had white women mistreating their black slaves, badly.
