Book Reviews of The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror, Volume 12
Book Review: Nothing too scary here
Summary: 3 Stars
I tend to get all of these Mammoth titles as I like to read before I go to bed at night and the short story format is perfectly suited for that. Some of these stories are real sleepfests making you wonder why there were ever included in this anthology, for surely if they were the best I would loathe to read the ones that Jones rejected. There are some grade A stories here though "gramma forever", "i have a special plan for this world", and the "other side of midnight" leave a lasting impression on the reader. Still I must say I did not find the majority of stories all that scary, some were merely entertaining.
