As an overall work, I found "Scary Out There" to be not quite a run-of-the-mill horror collection, but a pretty interesting look at fictional depictions of what these 21 authors thought to be real fear, and although I think there were unimpressive bits, this collection of stories is a good read for any teen horror lover.
Some of the stories were really well done, like Josh Mallerman's "Danny", and Tim Waggoner's "The Whisper-Whisper Men"- those two were probably my favorite. Additionally, the larger concepts and worlds of "The Doomsday Glass" by Brenna Yovanoff and "What Happens When the Heart Just Stops" by Christopher Golden were REALLY interesting- I'd've loved a longer work of both of those!
Many of the other ones were unsettling, both because of the subject matter ("What Happens to Girls Who Disappear") but there were a couple I thought to be a bit lame ("Non-player Character"). I think a couple stories just needed more thought, better writing, and movement. There is a LOT of wasted time in some of these tales.
It's a kooky collection of stories. Good for a atmospheric, Halloween-ish read.… (more)
