Excellent collection of supernatural detective stories utilizing series characters including Carnacki, Solar Pons, and even Clive Barker's Harry D'amour, supplemented by a seven story series by Kim Newman that derives from Bram Stoker's Jewel of the Seven Stars. Not that the villain is always supernatural, sometimes it's a red herring like Hound of the Baskervilles. But they are all pretty good or better. Excellent variety. ( ) Ok, a short words about every story...longer than that and it would be looooong. In Egypt's land by Kim Newman Just a short intro. Will be interesting to see how it turns out. Our lady of death by Peter Tremayne A ghost is haunting an inn. I liked this one as it was set long ago in Ireland, it had a nice smart heroine too. The mummy's heart by Kim Newman The ruby from the first story is now in England and causing deaths. The horse of the invisible by William Hope Hodgson A horse is haunting a woman. I still wonder what was real and not. The magician and the matinee idol by Kim Newman Ruby 3. 2 new peeps, 25 years later, 20s. Meh The adventure of the crawler by Basil Cooper Not one of my favorite detectives. I wanted more action. The trouble with Barryman by Kim Newman Ruby 4. 20 years later. I really hope they solve this in the end. Rouse him not by John Thunston I liked this one. Short and nice. De Marigny's clock by Brian Lumley. Those robber's sure made a mistake. The Biafran bank manager by Kim Newman Ruby 5. This almost seemed like the end, but more is coming it seems. Someone is dead by R.Chetwynd-Hayes A haunting. I liked the idea of time.slips. Vultures gather Reuben Calloway by Roderick Shea Totally creepy ending. Last Souls by Cliver Barker A bit too short Mimsy by Kim Newman Ruby 6. And it continues. My fav of the Newman's so far. And it's still not finished. The man who shot the man who shot Liberty Valence by Jay Russell Eh, wanted more. The dog story by Kim Newman Part 7. Ohh the future now, things are coming crashing down. Bay Wolf by Neil Gaiman But it was in prose! Eh The duel of the Seven by Kim Newman And it ends. With a bang, this should have been a book. Some I enjoyed a lot, some I did not care for as much. Some were good, some ok, some weird, some brilliant. Just like every anthology. A good mix of things. A detective here, a detective there, and lots of paranormal happenings. I read it over a weekend, but it would work better with maybe a story per day. Before bedtime ;) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
