Review: Vampires Don't Sparkle!

Vampires Don't Sparkle! by Michael West

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



As with all anthologies, there are going to be stories you enjoy more than others, but the majority of the stories in this book were enjoyable and a refreshing return to actual horror stories involving vampires.

Because some of the proceeds of the book's sales go towards cancer charities, this is definitely a worthy book to add to your collection.

On second thought... maybe not if your name is Bella.

Review: The Pumpkin Child

The Pumpkin Child by Nancy A. Collins

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Hollis Railsback can't catch a break to save his life. At his most desperate, he visits the local witch to change his luck. The spell works, and Hollis is living the good life. However, when he discovers one area of misfortune in his life ten years later, he compels the witch to perform another spell for him, despite her warnings to the contrary.

Nancy Collins is known for her visceral, gritty writing style, and this story is no exception. She has an excellent grasp of small-town Southerner speech patterns, and the motivations for each character are clearly defined.

If you're a fan of Tales From The Crypt-esque stories, you should certainly like this tale.
