Lädt ... Epitaphs: The Journal of the New England Horror Writersvon Tracy L. Carbone (Herausgeber)
Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  ChrisMcCaffrey | Apr 6, 2021 |   I have been a horror fan since I was six years old and watched Salem’s Lot through my fingers. I don’t scare that easily anymore and I am often left disappointed in books or movies. That’s not the case with these stories though. This collection is a perfect example of less being more. Some of these stories gave me goose pimples by being subtle. It didn’t take 400 pages or overt terror, but instead they were horror stories that were human and thought provoking too. I laughed and even cried reading some (okay I was a blubbering idiot reading Stony’s Boneyard by Glenn Chadbourne & Holly Newstein). I won’t give a list of my favorites from the collection since I just finished reading it. Tomorrow my favorites may be different after I have had some time to digest them. I absolutely recommend this to fellow horror fans and even to those who don’t normally read the genre because it’s a great introduction to horror.

Well chosen stories by top flight authors and even takes extra points for artistry by including poems.
My favorite stories were the ones that had a bitter sweetness to them, making them more dark fiction than actually horror.
The Christopher Chair by Paul McMahon--a relic that cures also exacts a price.
Build-A-Zombie by Scott T. Goudsward--gleefully macabre story based, you guessed it, on the concept of building one's own zombie instead of a cute stuffed animal.
Make a Choice by John M. McIlveen--disturbing, realistic, and well done. I don't want to give it away but it would be any parent's worse nightmare.
Stony's Boneyard by Glenn Chadbourne and Holly Newstein--touching supernatural story. Well written, evocative of loss and what we leave behind for the people that loved us.
Cheryl Takes a Trip by Stephen Dorato--literary ghost story about regret that functions on several levels.
