At Home in the Dark edited by Lawrence Block

Are you in the mood for a provocative read?  These stories have horror and death in various locations.  There's a western story, a fantasy story, a dystopian story and more.  There's no disappointment in these tales.  They all hold your attention and draw you in to the time and circumstances of the story.

Mr. Block graciously shared a copy of the book with me to read for review (thank you).  It will be published April 30th, but you can pre-order a copy now if you wish.

The one story that has stuck in my mind was Joe Hill's.  His monsters seem real and the theme for his story was very different from his other work.  I found this story special, even if it wasn't very nice.

Read it and see what you think.  Tell which one is your favorite story.  I'm sure you'll find one.
