Worth it for the first story
Bewertet mit 3 Sternen
The Way Lost (Kelley Armstrong)
My favorite story in the collection with a great solution. *****
La Calavera (Kate Maruyama)
The ending provided a nice, though foreseeable twist. **
The Devil's Due (Michael McBride)
This felt like a routinely written story with enough details and a clever plot, but it did not provoke any strong feelings while reading it. ***
A Thousand Rooms of Darkness (Taylor Grant)
It was OK I think, but also the least memorable - I must admit I already forgot most of it. **
The Last Night of October (Greg Chapman)
The last story was also the longest, which is my main complaint: the whole 'foreplay' between the old man and his nurse was lengthy and slowed the story down considerably. Only when Gerald finally told his story things got interesting. **
The first story was the only one that really excited me and made this anthology worth reading.
