Shelfari edited the summary of Poe's Children: The New Horror: An Anthology Friday, October 22, 2010.
I had this on audiobook, and it was a great production. My only complaint was that some stories were too much alike it almost made me think they were biting each other. But it turned me on to some different writers.
My Favorite Stories from this book:
Cleopatra BrimstoneBrimstone Elizabeth Hand - very interestingLedaLeda M. Rickert - despite it's somewhat corniness, this was a sweet story. and it was good on the audiobook because you had two readers for the story being told from the husband and wife's perspective
The Ballad of the Flixible BulletBullet Stephen King - he did not disappoint in this one
The Green Glass SeaSea Ellen Klages - this story became totally iller when i learned about the real story behind it a few weeks later. i still don't like the ending much though...(turns out this was an excerpt so I'm geeked to read the real book)
October in the ChairChair Neil Gaiman - this story was very clever, not scary at all, but just delightful. (just found out he's the writer of coraline! i would've guessed it)
