The Mask of the Macabre is cleverly demonic--four short tales on the dark side that lend proof to the fact that monsters are real and they walk among us.  The four tales are very well written in the classic style of traditional horror, reminiscent of Ambrose Bierce, Henry James, or Oliver Onions.  Gently interwoven, each one feeds upon a central theme and each one delivers its own ironic little twist.Haynes pulls the reader right in and delivers these spine-tinglers without relying upon cheap shock value or needless violence and gore.  Succinct and swift, this can easily be read in a single sitting.  Delightfully fun, and I look forward to reading more.
