Excellent, just short of 5 stars, 10 July 2007
By John E. Poulin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of New Terror (Paperback)
Wow, I really liked this having read some of the other Mammoth Series books Jones had edited this one is top notch. Which isn't to say those were all bad but the ones I've read haven't had as many good stories as this volume boasts. "Fruiting Bodies" by Brian Lumley starts it off with a bang. "Needle Song" by Charles L. Grant and "Reflection Of Evil" by Graham Masterton are brilliant. E.C. Tubb's "Mirror of the Night" fits nicely in this terror anthology as well as does "The Fourth Seal" by the ever prolific Karl Edward Wagner. "The Chimney" is an excellent Ramsey Campbell short and "The Circus" by Sydney J. Bounds is also a great story.
Unfortunately "Dark Wings" and "It Was the Heat" and a couple others paled badly by comparison. Overall an excellent read and the closing tale "Among the Wolves" by David Case ends on a high note.

I Love Love Love this book!, 10 Dec 2006
By Devin Touchton "DevinGirl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of New Terror (Paperback)
It's taken me awhile to appreciate that horror doesn't always have to be Stephen King-esque monsters & slitherings in the basement (which, I love, don't get me wrong!). The Mammoth Book of New Terror stories range from just strange (Fruiting Bodies), to eternally unsettling (The Fourth Seal), & downright icky (Foet)! I'm positively delighted with this book!

This is the Best They Could Assemble?, 4 Jan 2009
By "DEATH DREAMS" Kindle author "C.P." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of New Terror (Paperback)
I read the first tale FRUITING BODIES by Brian Lumley and thought "that was pretty good, but I hope it isn't the best tale in the book". Unfortunately it was... There are a few other good ones like FOET by F. Paul Wilson, but there is also absolute rubbish like TURBO-SATAN by Christopher Fowler. Two other hidden gems were WAKE-UP CALL by David J. Schow and AMONG THE WOLVES by David Case. I advise anyone reading this to skip this book and instead buy any complete works by any of the authors praised above.
