This Book Puts The "Super" in Supernatural!, July 26 2001
By Michael S. Picardi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hauntings: Tales of the Supernatural (Hardcover)
I came upon this wonderful tome of stories accidentally while searching for a short story by John Collier, just one of the authors included of the seventeen, entitled "Thus I Refute Beelzy," a story that shows that a child's imagination can be a scary, evil place. The tales are remarkably eerie and marvellously unique in their approach to not only ghosts but to the shared demons of all humanity, which are all too close to the mark. In this lovely marriage of American and English supernaturalism, not only are readers treated to tales by masters such as H. P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch, Manly Wade Wellman, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry James, H. G. Wells, and Montegue Rhodes James, among others, but also to the pithy introductions of the tales by accomplished editor Henry Mazzeo and troubling images from the magical, evil pen of the late, great Edward Gorey. You needn't be a die-hard fan of the genre of spooks and bumps-in-the-night to appreciate Hauntings, just a lover of language, an admirer of the craft of fiction, and a guest of this planet so replete with anger, dismay, despair, longing, and insecurity. The tales Mazzeo has so expertly selected pluck the aforementioned life-experiences like the strings of a lute and the resonation is nothing short of haunting.

Before Stephen King and Blair Witch, There Was Hauntings, Oct 9 2003
By J. Reynolds - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hauntings: Tales of the Supernatural (Hardcover)
In this book you will recognize the narrative origins of Stephen King's "It" and the conceptual framework of "The Blair Witch Project." Enjoy these originals -- they are concise, unburdened by side-plots, and pure in the creepy feelings they inspire.
