This is a wonderful compilation. The book is extremely well-bound and laid out and the typeface is easy to read.
As the title says, 100 tiny tales, set out in alphabetical order of title, all extremely well-written. Some really are terrifying, most are at least scary, some are humorous, a few (only a few) bizarre. All stories bar one are under 10 pages (the other is 11 pages) with most around 5-8 pages long. So you can dip into this book at your leisure. It took me a few months to read the compilation reading a randomly-chosen story whenever I had time.
Most authors had only one story in the compilation, but a few authors had two. Famous authors include Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Guy de Maupassant, Saki, to name a few. But often the stories of the less well-known authors produce the biggest punch. It was exciting to read ingenious jaw-dropping stories from authors I hadn't heard of before.
My top 10 favorite stories were, in alphabetical order:
Best of Luck by David Drake
The Dancing Partner by Jerome K. Jerome
Have You Seen Me? by Nancy Holder
In the Vault by H.P. Lovecraft
Mr Templeton's Toyshop by Thomas Wiloch
One-Night Strand by Donald R. Burleson
Over Time's Threshold by Howard Wandrei
Schizo Jimmie by Fritz Leiber
The Sultan's Jest by E. Hoffman Price
The Three Marked Pennies by Mary Elizabeth Counselman
But ask other readers and they would likely choose 10 different stories. There are so many high quality stories, you really can't go wrong with whatever story you read. And if a story is not to your liking, you have 99 others to choose from!
There is something here for anyone who loves to be shocked, surprised and thrilled to their very bootlaces - and doesn't want to wait long before that happens!
I have no hesitation in recommending this compilation.
