Helpful Score: 1
I was a little disappointed in these stories. Some were good, but most weren't really scary. And maybe in 1999 none were previously published, but since then some have been. I know I've read the Stephen King story in other books, and a couple others seemed familiar, too.
It\'s a book with many short stories, some I loved, others were simply o.k. But all & all it was a good read, others were great.
Great classic horror stories.

I originally checked this book out from the public library for Neil Gaiman's story, but I found myself loving all the stories.
A must have for any horror enthusiast.
