"Spend Your Money Elsewhere" I really like good horror fiction, but this anthology was a waste of my time and money. There are a few decent stories, such as "Half the Storm", "Peas in a Pod", and “As Lost as a Northwest Alabamian in a Snowstorm”, but most of the stories fail at a very basic level. The story written by the editor, Nickolaus Pacione, is T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E. It's grammatically incompetent and difficult to follow. Don't just take my word that his writing is horrible. Preview the book and read the back cover and the introduction. Yikes! Other stories contain either typos and grammatical errors, bad writing, bad grasp of basic facts, blah plots -- or a combination of the above. In one story, the main character is living in Vancouver when a major earthquake hits the city. Within minutes the character can turn on his television (which miraculously still works?) and learns specific details of the disaster, such as the number dead. Um, no. They... More > couldn't even have begun to find the bodies that fast. In another story, an asteroid hits off the East Coast with only a few minutes notice, when in reality, with our current technology, it would have been seen coming for quite a while. There are many other examples of similar problems. I recommend that readers spend their money elsewhere.< Less
