Richard Matheson: Collected Stories, Vol. 24 reviews
Richard Matheson

Gauntlet Press, 2005

Great Classics
If you're familiar with Matheson's work, you may have read a few of these tales already. Even if you have, revisiting some of them won't bother you a bit, since Matheson writes so well. The stories, which include gems like "The Children of Noah" and "Wet Straw" are the kind of tales that give you a shiver with their twist endings, and leave you wanting more. Great classics from a master.

Jack Ketchum

Gauntlet Press, 2007

Oh My Goodness!!
Simply put: If there were more books like this, more people would read horror. This is without a doubt the scariest book I have EVER read, and I've read 'em all--- King, Laymon, Little, Lee, et al. For the last 1/4 of this book I could literally feel my heart hammering in my chest. Ketchum does something very few horror authors do effectively: he lets us slowly get to know his characters ... 		  
  







  
  
Ladies Night20 reviews
Jack Ketchum, Neal McPheeters

Gauntlet Press, 2000

The lethal sex
Ladies' Night trades on a fundamental male fear: namely, what if the women in our lives suddenly turned on us? Ketchum answers that question in typically brutal fashion, positing a scenario wherein New York City becomes a battleground in the ongoing war of the sexes. The story begins when a chemical tanker collides with a car near 72nd Street and Broadway, spilling its sweet smelling ...

Gauntlet Press, 2005

THE LATEST COLLECTION FROM POPPY
In her first new collection in a couple of years, Poppy Z. Brites "The Devil you Know" focuses many of its stories in and around her beloved New Orleans and often travels in the restaurant world (her husband is a chef). Less gothic than her previous works, one might even consider "The Devil You Know" somewhat whimsical in certain spots. She certainly is prone to using humor and irony more so ...

The Best of the Best
It's little wonder that Richard Matheson is considered a living legend. His works helped to define my generation, and his words encompassed the very world in which I have lived. Indeed, there is hardly an American living today who has not been touched in some way by Mr. Matheson's imagination. This, the first of two volumes collecting previously uncollected works from the huge canon of Mr. ...

More Of My Favorite Stories
An astounding event occurred in September 1989-A signed and slipcased edition of Richard Matheson's collected stories was offered by Scream Press (called Dream Press for this limited edition of 1250 at Mr. Matheson's request). If you weren't lucky enough to snatch up a copy of that landmark volume, Gauntlet Press is giving us a second chance to own and read these marvels of short fiction. This ... 		  
  







  
  
Right to Life: And 2 Stories10 reviews
Jack Ketchum

Gauntlet Press, 2002

Twisted Tale of Captivity
Jack Ketchum delivers another discomforting look at the dark side of human nature. A bizarre, sadistic couple of right-to-lifers kidnap a pregnant woman in front of an abortion clinic, hold her captive and engage in various forms of physical, psychological and sexual torture. I don't know why, but I couldn't put it down. Very graphic and descriptive as Ketchum tends to be. Not for the ...

amazing stories
Before the newly released version of "I am Legend" with Will Smith, i never heard of Richard Matheson. However after seeing the movie and reading a few of his stories i am convinced that the man is a great and compelling writer. I have never been a fan of reading short stories because i always felt that there was never enough time to get to know the characters that you are reading about. ...

Jack Ketchum, Edward Lee

Gauntlet Press, 2003

Can't Sleep...Can't Sleep...Can't Sleep.......
Sleep disorder is a rare book that is truly worth the cost of finding, if you are a fan of Ketchum and Lee. There are seven stories in all, 5 stories, plus 2 more that are the original first drafts of ?Sleep Disorder? and ?I?d Give Anything for You.? Whenever you put Edward Lee and Jack Ketchum together, it spells horror in a highly entertaining and gruesome way. Fantastic collection, don?t ...

And you will love it, too. Mr. Matheson returns to his suspense-terror roots with Woman, a heart-clenching and very adult story about the war between the sexes.

Are You Loathsome Tonight?: A Collection of Short Stories14 reviews
Poppy Z. Brite

Gauntlet Press, 2000

Brilliant short stories -- Ms. Brite is a gifted writer!
Having read Liquor, I wanted to read more of Poppy Z. Brite's work. Are You Loathsome Tonight? is quite a surprise. I hadn't expected this sort of writing from Ms. Brite, but I'd been told that this work is right on her alley and that she had branched out of the gothic genre with Liquor. These short stories are a mixture of gothic, paranormal and magic realism with some adult fairy tale elements ...

Only Child2 reviews
Jack Ketchum

Gauntlet Press, 2007

Dark and disturbing ... and menacingly realistic
My first encounter with Jack Ketchum's work was reading his novel 'Red'. A somewhat slim book, I finished reading it in one day. You know if a book is going to be worthwhile usually after the first couple of chapters, and the time spent reading 'Red' was thoroughly worthwhile. It still remains one of the best pieces of fiction I have encountered, which brings me to ... ... 'Only Child'. Like ...

Not only can episodes still be seen on the SciFi Channel, but the show has also proven to be a durable video and DVD best seller. The stories presented on the show are intelligent and have a timeless quality and charm about them that makes even repeated viewings seem new. One of the main reasons for this is the contributions ...

Excellent Presentation
Ever since the release of "The Twilight Zone Companion" by Marc Scott Zicree twenty-two years ago, followers of THE TWILIGHT ZONE and Rod Serling have awaited the possible release of a second opinion, if you will. Zicree's comprehensive volume covers the series in depth, and everyone who calls themself a fan of THE TWILIGHT ZONE has a copy of this book. "The Companion" has been criticized for its ...
