Horrorscape 2 — John Gregory Betancourt

The thrilling stories collected in this 12-story volume cover a wide territory. Intended for mature readers, included are monster tales, stories of psychological suspense, traditional ghost stories, and variations on fairy tales. Leading off with Brad Strickland's "Her Wild Wild Eyes," the collection continues through "Graves," a showcase for the powerful writing of Joe Haldeman, known for his science fiction novels. "The Dark Country," by Dennis Etchison, is a decadently rich collage of images, emotions, and horrifying events just south of the border.
