![]() ![]() Regardless, I’ll hope you’ll give it a try if you enjoy a good ghost story, or some downright chilling horror. ![]() And anyway, sometimes it’s difficult to draw the line between fantasy and horror. So I figure if these prestigious fantasy awards consider it fantasy, then I can get away with reviewing it for Fantasy-Faction. However, it won the British Fantasy Award for Best Collection (and Best Short Story for Best New Horror), and the last entry in the collection, Voluntary Committal, won the 2006 World Fantasy Award for Best Novella. Reviewing this selection is a bit of a stretch for a fantasy forum: to me, it’s 99% horror and 1% fantasy. I’m not big on short stories for the most part – I’m a novel gal – but when a friend recommended this when I asked for something scary to read, I almost literally could not put it down. It’s one of my all-time favorite books, and definitely my favorite short-story collection. Looking for something different, brilliant, and deeply disturbing to read for Halloween? You need look no further than 20th Century Ghosts, a short-story collection by Joe Hill aka Stephen King’s son. ![]()
