It makes me goosebumps thinking about some of the stories in this collection. It is a treat for any fan of horror – Forty-seven stories and six poems selected by Marvin Kaye Kaye Saratoga. The selections focus on psychological horror rather than blood and gore. As Kaye said in her introduction "Any history that my spine Jaded A cold seemed to present the appropriate credentials for joining the club. "These are not the most famous tales of terror that appear again and again in n anthologies, some are already available elsewhere.
I have several favorites of them. "The Devil in the Bottle", an interesting twist to make a pact with the devil, was written in 1891 by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. Keawe, a native of Hawaii, buy a bottle of a foreign child who said that the IMP in the bottle is responsible for his wealth. The IMP also give Keawe what you want. Of course, there is a catch. If he dies with the bottle in possession of his soul burn in hell. Must be sold for less than its purchase price and can not have it or sell it. Stevenson throws a few twists and turns in history and faces Keawe horrible options.
"Guest of Dracula" was published posthumously after the death of Bram Stoker and was probably intended to be the first chapter of his novel "Dracula. The narrator is Jonathan Harker on his way to Transylvania in the Walpurgis Night, the first of May, when witches and demons are about. Do not pay attention to warnings check superstitious and leaves the safety of their hotel for a walk in the wood, where you only have an unsettling feeling that is observed. When it falls on an ancient tomb in a cemetery, old realizes the futility was.
"Flies" by Isaac Asimov, first published in June 1953. It is a story of science fiction about a group former students who gather at a meeting of twenty years after graduation. They discuss their achievements and have said that Casey did research on insecticides. Ironically, the flies seem to care about him and no more.
The British novelist Tanith Lee gives a different from the Cinderella story. "When the hour strikes" heroin is converted to a witch who swear allegiance to Lord Satan.
"Lazarus" by Leonid Andreyev is an account of the miraculous return to life is described in Scripture. Lazarus returns home after being dead for three days and the family and friends celebrate his resurrection. He is nicely dressed, but his days in the tomb left with a tinge blue in the face and cracks in the skin red. His character also changes. He is more happy and carefree and is willing to discuss the horrors he saw.
"The Flayed Hand" was written by Guy de Maupassant. A young student takes a dry hand, severed at the wrist of a dead magician. It intends to use as a lever for the doorbell to escape his creditors, but the owner, he wants them back.
The strength of this collection is its diversity. It is divided into five sections, each with stories that are unique and refrigeration. Some stories are written in a style of date may not appeal to readers who like more contemporary literature. But the prose sets the tone and creates an atmosphere that evokes a feeling of fear which is so perfect for this kind of story – the kind that makes your flesh creep. This is a book to be picked up and read again and yet.
