Five great authors and they do not disappoint. Each story represents each authors unique style for creeping out the reader. For some reason a few people thought King left the building. Not so. With His new novel Revival and this little gem called “Weeds”, he shows he’s still on top of his game. Ramsey Campbell’s “The Watched” is not his best work but he can write circles around most other horror writers even on an off day. It’s still a good unsettling read. Kelley Armstrong’s “The Price You Pay” is a great piece of original story telling. Disturbing, just the way we like it. “Magic Eyes” by Bill Pronzini is a wonderful telling of insanity and finally, for me the most remarkable story of all, is Simon Clark’s “Murder in Chains”. It’s horrific, fear inducing writing at its best. If you like your palms to sweat when reading horror, you’ll love this story. This is a tremendous short anthology and I’m really glad that Brian James Freeman and Richard Chizmar have titled this publication, Dark Screams: Volume One because that means there will be more to come.
