This is a great idea!

As with most anthologies, some stories are better than others, but for a buck there is some solid reading material here.

I appreciate that the stories cover different types of horror in different settings.

Review by: Robert Nelson on April 17, 2012 :
I was thinking that I might be disappointed in this rather short anthology. I figured, "What the heck!" Give it a try. Well, I'm glad I did! Yes the stories are short, but they are fresh and crisp. I love them! My favorite story is "Walter's Friends," but the different styles of each author, as eclectic as they are, pulled me in to each of them. I need to read more of these delightful "spookies."

One Buck Horror: Volume Four is great!
