The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror (Vol 8)

Rating:
Summary: Don't judge a book by its cover.
Review: Well, the writing was a little bit buggery. That's okay. The stories were on odd subject, but that's the basis of horror. Unfortunately, the stories weren't scary! The language was so foggy that, by the time you deciphered what had happened, it wasn't frightening at all. "Hopscotch" was creepy, i'll give it that. And "The Film" was a story not too short of brilliant, as far as the idea goes. But they just weren't scary. Maybe I'm callused to horror being such a fan, but I can't necessarily agree that this is the best new horror for last year.
