Another excellent collection of short stories. Del has compiled a nice choice of stories. While "haunted" is a generic enough theme that it could apply to many stories, it fit all these stories very nicely. Ghosts and haunted houses and memories. Things that leave an impact on a person's soul and their thoughts. The two stories that really stood out to me were the ones by Little and Braunbeck. Both for different reasons but each will haunt me. Below are my favorites from the book.
"Mist on the Bayou" by Heather Graham - A ghost helps save a girl from being murdered at a haunted house.
"A Nasty Way to Go" by Ardath Mayhar - A constable investigates the sightings of a ghost.
"A Slow Haunting" by John R. Little - A viscious tale of revenge that goes on for years. It sits in my mind long after I finished the story.
"Man with a Canvas Bag" by Gary A. Braunbeck - A sad story of ghosts and remembering and missed opportunities.
"Fetch" by Chuck Palahniuk - The story of a haunted tennis ball. ( )
This third in a wonderful collection of short stories by the masters of horror, selected by Del Howison and Jeff Gelb is an absolute must read for the lover of the macabre. As always, there is not a dud in the whole bunch. Every single story is chock full of delightful things that go bump in the night. Most enjoyable. ( )
