The amazing cover art draws you in, the mummy coming out of the iPad probably their best yet.I found only two of the stories excellent. "Theridia" was the best one, a piece that you think is a vampire tale turns out to be so much more. "Bayani's Promise" draws you into the world of a poverty-stricken country and creates so much empathy that you feel for the girl, an amazing feat in a horror tale. You root for the kid to make it home before dark in order to beat the disaster that's nipping at her heels. These two stories were so high-caliber, it makes it worth buying the whole issue, as it's only a buck."Hanal Pixen" tackles an interesting subject, the Mayan "Day of the Dead" festival, and demands your attention. I felt the ending was rushed, though, and this was also the problem with "In the Eye of the Beholder." The tale "Walter's Friends" didn't grab me. I feel zombies are overdone.You can't beat this price, however. For a buck, one great story would be worth it!
