Book Reviews of Dark Delicacies
Book Review: I'm new to horror, and this book satified!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you had told me even a few months ago I would be reading and enjoying a horror collection, I would have thought you were crazy. However, I picked up a collection somewhere along the way and had it around the house, and picked it up when looking for something to read, and found I had liked horror all my life---I just didn't call it that. I liked scary sci-fi, stories with a dark twist, supernatural tales of evil...but not HORROR, no! Well, they all are horror, and I decided to press my luck and try another anthology, and again I found I liked almost every story a lot! I think what I liked the most here was the variety---the stories ranged from aliens on another planet to gang revenge to Dickens-like storytelling to reluctant future-seers to lots more. I never know what the next tale would be like. I can't say the book overall totally blew me away with the brilliance of every story, but I certainly was happy reading. My favorite story was Kaddish, by Whitley Strieber, an amazing tale of life under an ultra-conservative, ultra-religious US government which still manages to make us feel for those in power as they come to slightly realize what the fullness of their political dreams really means. The foreshadowing of talking of a hot February day early in the account was extremely skillful writing.
I am eager to read a lot more horror anthologies, but I'm glad I ran across this one early in my days of reading all of them!
