This anthology is a fairly diverse collection of short stories written by Robert Bloch (author of "Psycho"). A few stories into the book, and you will understand why Bloch has been called the king of the shock endings. You will soon find yourself attempting to guess how Bloch will finish off the tale you are reading, and you will be right about seventy-five percent of the time. Does this harm the stories themselves? In a way, much as it would if you were reading a book entitled "100 Stories In Which The Hero Turns Out To Be A Vampire."
Still, several stories do manage to chill despite this failing, and they are superb examples of Bloch performing in top form.
