Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 16, 2011
This 2010 collection contains six horror stories, an introduction, and an afterward. The introduction explains the different types of literature and films that people consider "horror," and stresses that horror tales must be based on suspense, as are the six in this volume. Shock, the introduction states, is "not the defining characteristic of the genre." The following are two examples of the stories."Homecoming" examines what the death of a beloved son can do to his mother and how his father reacted when the son's mutilated ghost appeared to him."Haunted" is about a man, his wife, and daughter who live in a haunted house. The spirits that occasionally come by bothers them. But are these spirits ghosts of the dead?
