5.0étoiles sur 5 Delight for a Dark Evening, Juil 13 2004
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Haunted House Stories (Paperback)
This huge anthology is a wonderful treat for any lover of the spookiest of all horror genres - the haunted house. The selections are highly eclectic, although weighted toward the coziness of the British 19th century tradition (although there's NOTHING cozy about "Lost Hearts," the M.R. James tale included here!). You'll find a terrific balance between familiar names like William Hope Hodgson and Robert Bloch (best known for Psycho) and the more obscure - this anthology was my introduction to Basil Copper and H. Russell Wakefield, whose "Ghost Hunt" is a highly enjoyable bit of pulp. Also included are a number of stories by "literary" writers not known for the horror genre, including Penelope Lively, Fay Weldon, and Virginia Woolf.

Some of the stories are mostly of historical interest - modern tastes aren't likely to be thrilled by misers getting tediously Victorian comeuppances in the afterlife, and the "funny" stories are painful to sit through. But this eclectic collection offers gem after gem as well, and if you want a survey of the breadth and depth of the haunted neighborhood, here is your field guide.

Par April Dains "apalia3" (Terrebonne, Or. USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Haunted House Stories (Paperback)
I admit I read it all and even enjoyed a good portion of this really large anthology. Some of the stories were pretty creepy but I failed to have ANY nightmares. I enjoyed the Whistling Room by William Hope Hodgson and several others like Feet Foremost by L.P. Hartley and The Grey House by Basil Copper. Most of the tales are set in England at some point in the distant past and while the book claims several of the stories to be based on true happenings as defined in the prospectus at the beginning of each tale I can only recall one or two references to fact having been put forth. All in all I think Peter Haining who edited this anthology could have gathered a better sampling of stories and worked a bit harder at giving us a better scare.

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Haunted House Stories (Paperback)
Peter Haining has included some very good stories in "The Mammoth Book of Haunted House Stories" that have been collected elsewhere, e.g. "Lost Hearts" by M.R. James and "The Whistling Room" by William Hope Hodgson. He also included stories that have never (to my knowledge) been included in an anthology--and for a good reason. They usually weren't worth reading (at least, if you're looking for a good scare). There were also too many humorous ghost stories for my taste -- authors always seem to come off as over-arch and coy when they strain for levity in a ghost story.

I'd recommend "Haunted Houses - The Greatest Stories" which was edited by Martin H. Greenburg over this collection of Peter Haining's. Haining seemed to be straining for 'mammoth' rather than for 'haunted'.
