This review is from: Spectres and Darkness (Paperback)
While the Joe Nassise stories ranged from so-so to great, every single story from Drew Williams was a winner.
Williams displays an impressive variety of terror in this collection of short stories. Stories about two-headed chickens, a drive-in movie theatre that just won't die, a freaky video store, the end of the world, a freelance writer who...whoops, well I don't wanna spoil that one, succubi, and more!
His style is perfect, he has the gift of being a natural storyteller coupled with the insights and knowledge of the genre, which puts him in the tier of the elite. Always a pleasure to read his work!
Joe Nassise came up with a few hum-dingers as well, like the awsome "CARRION MAN," but I found the dialouge in some of his pieces to be a bit corny, and some of the stories a bit contrived. Still, worth reading.
Overall, I highly reccomend that all horror fans check out Drew Williams' work. I have not met one person familiar with his work who has not spoken as highly of it as I am now.
Semi-complaint: There were more than several typos throughout (mostly in Nassise's stories)which doesn't usually bother me, but when it is a rather short book, I expect better editing than this. But that is nit-picking. This is a keeper.
