Product Description

Synopsis
A collection of twenty-two short horror tales includes the work of Stephen King, Charles Grant, and Jane Yolen.

From the Author
Fans of S. King and/or psychological suspense will love it!
I am the author of "Icewall," one of the stories in ROBERT BLOCH'S PSYCHOS. At the risk of committing some sort of authorial faux pas, I would like to urge readers of psychological suspense to give this superb anthology a try. Robert Bloch wrote PSYCHO, which became Alfred Hitchcock's best-known film. Mr. Bloch died before the book was published, and the anthology has become a loving tribute by his peers, colleagues, and beginners (like me) who were influenced by his wonderful novels, stories, and scripts. His legacy lives on in the dark humor and tingling suspense found in the stories contained in this volume, which is brought to you by the Horror Writers Association. Here you will find great stories by the likes of Stephen King, Charles Grant, Ed Gorman, Billie Sue Mosiman, Lawrence Watt-Evans, Richard Christian Matheson, Esther Friesner, Jane Yolen, and Gary Braunbeck, just to name a few. You can't go wrong!

The synopsis for this anthology lists an "online promo" but I have never seen one, so I decided to light a fire in the darkness and bring some attention to this deserving volume -- a volume I am sure Bob Bloch is proud of!

Enjoy! But don't turn off the lights...

5.0 out of 5 stars There is some sick stuff in here, 29 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Trust me, I mean that in a good way. Almost every single one of these stories is a knockout, and very disturbing. Things start off with a bang with the Stephen King story "Autopsy Room 4" about a man who gets bitten by a rare breed of poisinous snake on the golf course which has the extremely unfortunate side effect of making him appear that he is completely dead when he is only paralyzed. Guess where he wakes up. The Richard Christian Matheson story is an example of him at his best--the story is simple, short, brutal, and haunting. You'll want to read it over and over, because you can't beleive what happened. Way too realistic. The Ed Gorman story, the title of which I can't remember except that it was a great title, alone is worth the price of the book. Haunting, brilliant, and un-putdownable. If you like horror anthologies, you must pick this one up, it is one of the best. Just be warned, if you're easily shocked or disturbed, get something lighter because it takes a lot to scare me and this book gave me nightmares.
