Review of 'The Best Horror of the Year Volume 1\r\n \r\n Best Horror of the Year' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Much of the book had me wondering if 2008 was a bum year for horror. It doesn't help that the least interesting stories are almost always the longest (with the exception of the concluding novella, "The Narrows," which single-handedly improved my opinion of the book as a whole). Apart from "The Narrows," highlights of the anthology include "Cargo," "Penguins of the Apocalypse," "The Hodag," "Harry and the Monkey," and "Beach Head."
