Here I am again with some more humble mini-reviews:
Dread - loved it! Horrible imagery, rather sadistic even. Very strange
ending though; almost like the future had been foretold, then the story went
from pure horror to surreal fantasy. Boy, did the bastard get what he
deserved though!
Hell's Event - loved it too! Very strange premise for a story but I though
it worked well. Not much gore this time around, apart from at the end. Oh
and I loved the description of Hell's "sunless unbegotten face" ... or words
to that effect! Very nice tale indeed.
Jaqeline Ess - holy cow, this really was brutal; sick on a whole new level.
A real story for the feminists amongst you
I still think of the
descriptions even now - oh yes - they still haunt me. A very sad ending
though, but I guess any other kind was of out of the question. Boy, the
women in the story was one I would never be sexist too
The Skins of the Fathers - liked the ending a lot and still I think of the
fate of those poor people. I also liked the descriptions of the monsters and
the depiction of the idiotic/brave sheriff. However, I'm sorry to say that I
just didn't think the story had that "Wow!" factor that the others had...
New Murders in the Rue Morgue - it really will help you if you've read Poe's
'prequel' prior to this story. I didn't because I didn't know one existed
and I think the story suffered a little from it. Having said that, I still
liked it, particularly the very vivid descriptions it encompassed. A fun,
weird little story that, at times, borders on comic ... certainly not
horror.
