This is a fantastic and unusual collection of disturbing stories that includes a lot of pieces and authors you may not be familiar with or at least familiar with them writing this type of story. Highly recommended as an alternate to those anthologies that publish the same things over and over again. (  ) datrappert | Nov 15, 2009 |  As usual, the work of Alberto Manguel is impeccable. This anthology contains short stories by the biggest names in the field of fantasy, as well as lesser known ones that most Anglo-Saxon anthologies forget about, i.e. Latin American and some foreign writers. You'll be certain to find your pick of interesting stories, and they will give you an interest in the writers' works. Recommended for bibliophiles and fantasy geeks, these stories are certain not to leave anyone indifferent. ( )1  soniaandree | Mar 6, 2009 | Excellent collection of fantastical works spanning a couple of centuries. (  ) horacehive | Sep 29, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0739438573, Hardcover)Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Fans of the Twilight Zone should relish MacGregor's newest offering (after Out of Sight); reading this spine-tingling suspense novel is like spiraling headfirst into the most disturbing episode ever aired. As Mira Morales and her teenage daughter, Annie, prepare to return via motorboat to their home in the Florida Keys, Mira is knocked unconscious and Annie is kidnapped. After regaining consciousness, the psychic Mira tries to locate her daughter, but when her boat glides through Florida's "black water," she travels back in time to 1968. Meanwhile, Annie's kidnapper, the germaphobic Patrick Wheaton, drags her through the same "corridor." Through the investigative work of FBI agent Wayne Sheppard and the psychic bond that Mira and her grandmother Nadine share, the reasons behind Wheaton's actions unfold, and the story becomes even more unsettling. The constant shift between the past and present may confuse readers, especially as events unfolding in the past begin to affect the present. Though some may find the book's paranormal elements hard to swallow, MacGregor skillfully builds the tension to a heart-pounding conclusion.
