I picked this up from a charity bookstall thinking that Uncruliar Junior No.1 might like it as he has been asking about horror books and authors recently. Unfortunately it didn't catch his interest.

I was going to release it without reading it myself but then I noticed the name Lovefcraft on the on the cover and decided to take a look. I haven't read the whole book, just a few of the stories whose authors were already known to me (Lovecraft, MR James, Poe and Clive barker). I thought at first that the 'old masters' were particularly understated, leaving a lot to the imagination. But then when I read the Cliver Barker story I also found that surprisingly ungory. I don't read much horror fiction these days so maybe my expectations were unrealsitic but certainly I recall Stephen King and Phil Rickman (earlier books) being much more scary.

Taking to the monthly Ipswich meet to be left on the shelf unless someone picks it up then and there.

Caught for my brother as he's into zombies!
