Why read it?
1 author picked The Collection as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it is a collection of short stories, and I am a huge fan of anthologies. It also contains some of the zaniest horror stories I’ve ever read. My personal favorite is The Washingtonians, which was adapted into a fantastic episode of Masters of Horror. This book takes elements like American History or even things as mundane as family reunions, garbage, and macaroni and cheese and completely flips them on their heads.
From Randy's list on horror that challenges beliefs and imagination.
