I picked this up to read "The Night Flier" by Stephen King, which was really pretty good! A bloody vampire story that gets pretty crazy! And as a treat for King fans, the story has a little tie-in with both "Salem's Lot" and "The Dead Zone"! Small, but fun! The rest of this book is not my cup of tea. Only "Spinning Tales With the Dead" by Charles L. Grant, was decent. The other 11 were, in my opinion, not worth reading. And, in fact, Peter Straub's "The Juniper Tree" should not be read at all! The detailed description of a child's molestation made me sick. Disgust, not fear. Ugh. So, I'd just read "The Night Flier" and move along! A big collection of mostly so-so tales by major horror authors of the late twentieth century. Maybe it's just the frame of mind I was in when I read the book, but these stories registered as little more than faint blurs at the time, and my opinion hasn't changed. Paul Hazel's "Having a Woman at Lunch" is just silly, and Peter Straub's "The Juniper Tree"--while certain of its ingredients are pivotal to the brilliant novels Straub has written during the latter phase of his career--is a weakish story on its own terms. Things get a little better with Stephen King's contribution, "The Night Flier": it's not top-drawer King, but is at least lively and readable. The best stories here are Charles L. Grant's "Spinning Tales with the Dead," an uncomfortably spooky mood piece, and Jack Cady's novella "By Reason of Darkness." Carefully layered, telling the reader enough to profoundly unsettle him (or her) but always holding something back, Cady's tale is both immediately jolting and--like all good horror stories--disturbing upon later reflection. Three stars for the inclusion of the Grant and Cady pieces; without them, Prime Evil would have been a real bust. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Why did anthologist always slaver over the King story and put it first? Oh wait, I know, money. ( )
