The Last of the Best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Some I like. Some I don't. Some I love. But all well written. Still the definitive collection of the two genres. Having them combined inside the same cover; they complimented one another. The last year for YBF & H. A shame.
Solid anthology, some good stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is one of several horror anthologies I have read over the years and this one fulfills its mission of providing reviews of fiction/film/media in this genre as well as including a broad array of short stories. The update was sufficient and the stories were of variable quality. There were some outstanding ones that will stay with me a long time...The Swing, England and Nowhere, Sir Hereward, Closet Dreams, but the majority would appeal to those who are really into fantasy. The bone-chilling, sweaty palms stuff is not here. Overall, a solid B read.
