I found myself internally debating on how to rate this book and what exactly to say about it. This book was not as consistent as the last one I read. These stories were good, but they were not all "horror" stories as the title would suggest. I few were indeed creepy, and I did have my picks of the bunch. Sin of the Flesh and Prime Cut were my favorite. Although I did have to wonder what his motivation was for The Box. I'm sure it was not just a happy accident that two of my favorite deities were

I'm sure it was not just a happy accident that two of my favorite deities were mentioned in the story, but I do not see how they relate to one another. I would tell you more, but I'm afraid it would ruin the short story for anyone who read it! :-)



As with John's other book, 13 Scary Stories, the stories are short enough for someone who is waiting to frighten their friends with some scary stories to memorize and throw out there when least expected. After all, that is when a story is at it's best. When it appears to occur naturally, in flow with the environment around them. For the young adult looking to branch out into telling scary tales, start here, your audience will love you for it.
