Haunted Legends
Ellen Datlow and Nick Mamaras
Tor, Sep 14 2010, $27.99
ISBN: 9780765323002
These twenty regional ghost stories based on local legends around the world make up a spirited fun anthology that will have readers keeping the lights on for two or three weeks. All the entries are fabulous with perhaps the best of the lot being the final contribution by Joe Lansdale, “The Folding Man” and the haunting (starring Stalin’s ruthless henchman Beria) “Tin Cans” by Ekaterina Sedia. Also excellent are Fiji based “That Girl” by Kaaron Warren, the Japanese located “15 Panels Depicting the Sadness of the Baku and the Jotai” by Catherynne M. Valente, and “Return to Mariabronn” by Gary A. Braunbeck. Whether it be “Akbar” by Kit Reed in India, a “Knickerbocker Holiday” by Richard Bowes in Hudson Valley New York or vampires in Rhode Island As Red as Red” by Caitlin R. Kiernan, this is a super diverse collection.
