Dark Screams: Volume One
jegka avatar reviewed on + 162 more book reviews


Five short stories, pretty close in impact value. Non-realistic nightmare scenarios, nothing too terrifying.
Weeds, by Stephen King, was my favorite but is a repeat, first published in 1976.
The Price You Pay, by Kelley Armstong, had well developed characters and I didn't anticipate it.
Magic Eyes was read very creatively on the audio book.
I wasn't overly fond of Murder in Chains by Bill Pronzini. To me it read like all the "dark" fiction in the high school creative writing journal.
I got the collection to check out Ramsey Campbell as a new author. I don't know if I'll read more of him.
