Summary: Mixing Man and Machine with supernatural terrors
Review: Great job by James Frenkel in compiling this amazing collection of horror shorts. The best stories from the best writers, this is a must have for you own collection; and is also better and more obtainable than Frenkel's previous collection Bangs & Whimpers.Pretty Maggie Moneyeyes by Harlan Ellison - (one of my favorites) Loneliness and greed are a bad combination around a possessed slot machine. Thinkertoy by John Brunner - Are your children angry at you for anything you have done? Scatter My Ashes by Greg Egan - How far will your obsession take you? Descending by Thomas Disch - Could you possibly become lost in a stairwell that never ends? That Hellbound Train by Robert Bloch - Sooner or later it comes for you. Survival Kit by Frederik Pohl - Everything you need in one odd suitcase. This Life and Later Ones by George Zebrowski - What gets left behind when man interferes? The Veldt by Ray Bradbury - Spare the rod, spoil the child. Little Man by Ramsey Cambell - A new kind of arcade game. Screens by John Shirley - What would it take to break free of brainwashing? Mammy Morgan Played the Organ; Her Daddy Beat the Drum by Michael Flynn - If you discovered ghosts had souls, would it make you happy or sad? Masks by Damon Knight - If your mind was encased in a machine, would it begin to think like one? But Smile No More by Stephen Dedman - A tale of government testing. The Dead by Michael Swanwick - How many uses can there be for re-animated corpses? Patterns by Pat Cadigan - Could your odd fantasy come true with a TV and your own finger? The Mangler by Stephen King - Written back when King was still master of the word and not subject to the verbal diarrhea he spews out these days. A commercial ironing machine becomes possessed and bloodthirsty. ENJOY!
