althea avatar reviewed on + 774 more book reviews


A short anthology of horror stories aimed at the YA reader.
includes:
# Secret Terror Pete Johnson
# 25 Battleground Stephen King
# 43 The Vacancy Robert Westall
# 57 The Twitch Guy de Maupassant; trans. by Anthony Horowitz
# 65 Freebies [Call-Back] Laurence Staig
# 79 Man from the South [Collectors Item] Roald Dahl
# 97 The Werewolf Mask Kenneth Ireland
# 111 Eels John Gordon
# 125 Jonathan Harkers Journal from Dracula [Dracula] Bram Stoker
# 131 Bath Night Anthony Horowitz

Some not-so-bad stuff, some pretty good stuff, some quite forgettable stuff. My biggest question is: why bother putting together an anthology and make it so short? I guess they think younger people will be intimidated by "big" books?
