I really enjoyed One Buck Horror's first issue. The stories are quick, fun reads, and seem to have a common theme: stories with children as the main characters. This gives the anthology a creepy childhood nightmare feel and the stories would be great as campfire tales (just don't drop your Kindle in the fire). I also thought as a whole it had a Stephen King "It" kind of feel, not in the sense that there's a group of kids in each story, but I almost felt like there was a group of kids overlooking the telling of the five short stories, framing them somehow. They're great spooky tales and I easily downloaded the issue onto my Droid. After reading the "Jenny's Story" by Ada Hoffman, I'm rethinking displaying my boyfriend's GI Joe action figures. After reading "The Last Nephew" by Elizabeth Twist, I'll flinch whenever someone says "uncle"! And Mike Trier's "Cornfield" is an action-packed monster tale. Great anthology. Another great thing about it: it's only $1.00! I highly recommend this!
