The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror
review 1: Not the strongest collection in this series, with more forgettable entries than usual and King's first contribution here an unfortunately weak one. Brian Lumley's "The Place of Waiting" was absolutely painful to slog through. It did have some high points, with Pinckney Benedict's "The Beginnings of Sorrow" standing out strongly as one of the better pieces, and a surprising one, but overall not quite the quality I've come to expect from this series.
review 2: By reading this book, I had hoped to discover horror genre authors that could write something that I would find scary. The authors Lynda E. Rucker, Paul Finch, Albert E. Cowdrey, and Pinckney Benedict who were featured in this book were all pretty good and I can see them writing novels that would actually
... more scare me. I do love the author Neil Gaiman but his stuff doesn't really scare me and sometimes can be funny instead. I had a good time with this book! less
