The Horror Megapack: 25 Classic and Modern Horror Stories
Ratings1
Average rating4.5
There is no theme, rhyme, or reason to this collection of horror stories, just a huge variety of tales from different times and settings thrown together. I enjoyed it a lot and read a few gems that I never came across before.
The only story I outright hated was Ghost of Towneley Towers by Seabury Quinn. When you read older stuff, you know it's gonna have problematic elements, of course, but this one made me outright cringe with how outdated it was, and it had nothing imaginative or interesting to make up for dealing with it. Just an awful, awful story.
Everything else was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I picked this one up. These megapacks are a good deal for the money, and it feels silly reviewing something that costs 99 cents because it was definitely worth that. If you like older horror, check it out; it might have stories you've never seen before mixed in along with the familiar authors.
