A great few reads.
This book contains the works of none other than the masters themselves: Bram Stoker, HG Wells, HP Lovecraft, Roald Dahl, Stephen King, Robert Bloch and Edgar Allan Poe! All great tales of terror and supernatural occurrences.
The first few stories in this book were pretty slow and uneventful. But about the middle of the book It starts picking up and really starts becoming fun to read. The book is well put-together and collaborated. And of course I can't say more about the writing of the multiple master authors that penned the works in this book. All are great!
This is definitely a book that I would recommend to any horror fan to add to their library.
