Reviews
“Horror tales to suit virtually every taste make this follow-up to the Stoker-winning Dark Delicacies, a fulfilling feast of fear […] The result is a refreshingly varied anthology of above-average quality […] The volume includes an eclectic mix of older and younger talents that ensures broad-based appeal to horror readers.”Publishers Weekly
