This book has some great classics of horror, suspense, and thriller literature. I added this to my bookshelf in my office where I have a number of horror-themed volumes, and it's a great way to take a quick break from work and enjoy a quick read. Read from front to back, or jump around from author to author - this will entertain you however you choose to read it! The books is a little smaller than I anticipated and also softer (I thought it was going to be a standard hardcover size and binding) but this is just cosmetic, and it is still an attractively packaged book.
