Betty M. Owen - 11 Great Horror Stories Including "The Oblong Box" and "The Dunwich Horror"

47. 11 Great Horror Stories Including "The Oblong Box" and "The Dunwich Horror" by Betty M. Owen (1969)
Length: 239 pages
Genre: Horror
Started: 5 June 2013
Finished: 7 June 2013
Where did it come from? From a Library Book Sale
How long has it been on my TBR pile? Since 25 July 2001
Why do I have it? I like horror and Betty M. Owen is a new author for me.

This book is an anthology of eleven strange and horrific short stories that was compiled by Betty M. Owen in 1969. These are short stories written by such well-known authors as H. P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker, as well as eight stories written by several lesser-known authors. All the stories were written in the late 19th or early 20th centuries - from classic to more contemporary horror. 

In my opinion, each story was certainly very good reading, however none of them actually scared me enough to give me nightmares. I think that I may want to read some more anthologies in the future, and I give this particular book an A! I'm definitely glad that I read it, but I can send this book away to another good home should anyone else want it.

A! - (90-95%)
