Review: Horrible but not gross - a little shiver we all can enjoy

This collection of horror-themed stories does horrify, but doesn't gross you out. I'm not a fan of horror generally, and have to admit that I bought this simply because I know the editor and some of the contributing authors. That said, I didn't have to finish reading it, but I did, and in a single day too.There's a wonderful range of stories, all dark, but none crossing the line into nightmare territory (for me, anyway). I'm not going to comment about individual stories, because I've already said that I know some of the authors, but I will say that I enjoyed them all, and a great deal more than I had expected to, not being a horror fan.A point worth noting is that all of the proceeds from sale of this collection are being directed to charities for children's literacy programs. Another incentive to purchase the book, if sheer enjoyment were not enough.
