Imogene is young and beautiful. She kisses like a movie star and knows everything about every film ever made. She's also dead and waiting in the Rosebud Theater for Alec Sheldon one afternoon in 1945. . . .

Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse. It isn't easy to make friends when you're the only inflatable boy in town. . . .

Francis is unhappy. Francis was human once, but that was then. Now he's an eight-foot-tall locust and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. . . .

John Finney is locked in a basement that's stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children. In the cellar with him is an antique telephone, long since disconnected, but which rings at night with calls from the dead. . . .

This is on the way to the winner of the Amazing Supernatural Sweeps, saw this on your wishlist, hope you enjoy it P-c :-)

Thanks so much for this wish list book & all the lovely choccies :-)

This is a collection of horror stories which are like nothing I've read before. At the start of each chapter I found myself referring back to Christopher Golden's introduction, wanting to see if I would agree with his comments & like him I'd like to talk about every story in the book but as I don't want to spoil the stories for future readers I'll keep it brief....

The grotesque (*shudder*) story within Best New Horror had my heart pounding!

"The single best short story I have read in years " says Golden of Pop Art. I found it quirky, sweet & heartbreaking.....& also the first story that I've read about an inflatable boy!!! I never once queried why Art was inflatable, I just accepted it as fact, it seemed sooo plausible....guess Hill has inherited this gift from his Dad ;o)


My Father's Mask had hints of old fairy/ folk tales that contain a moral or warning. Golden found it "..so weird & upsetting it made me giddy", I feel like that there's some analogy that's gone straight over my head & need someone to explain it to me!

It's hard to pick a favourite but if pushed I'd say Last Breath I loved the thread of ( black) humour & the ending was just perfect!

I could go on...& on...but suffice to say that's its a collection of stories that I may well read again - & I don't often re-read books these days :o)

A Halloween RABCK sneaking in with a wishlist book or two :o)

Released as part of The SPOOK-TACULAR CHALLENGE (#19)

Thanks for this Plum, not usually one for horror stories as I'm a cowardly custard, but I'll give it a go & read during daylight hours! 😉

Too spooky for me, so shall release for someone else to enjoy!
