A rant about books, horror, and the weird.  I sometimes take on my love/hate relationship with goodreads and Amazon.

The Mammoth Book of Ghost Stories by Women - Marie O'Regan

Not bad collection of tales that are fun to read by the wintry fireside. A blend of classic and newer writers. Collection is held back by a few mediocre stories and three stories that in my opinion are just misplaced, didn't belong in this themed anthology. I think the editor was trying to send some message about the potential breadth of the genre and lost track of what it was all about. Especially notable offerings by Sarah Pinborough,Muriel Gray, Nancy Kilpatrick, and Lisa Tuttle. Great cover.
