" Dark offers chilling stories, both fiction and real life, about the things that scare us the most: murder, hauntings, visitations, insanity and our own vulnerability! Examined through the eyes of some of the world's most gifted writers—Edgar Allan Poe, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Frost, W.W. Jacobs, Iain Banks, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Paul Bowles, Will Self, Marjorie Bowen, A.M. Burrage, Blue Balliett—we feel the malice of serial murderers, the cold evil of the undead, the unreasoning hatred of the insane, and, most of all, the incomprehensible suffering of their victims!"

Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:This collection of creepy stories mixes classics such as Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado and W.W. Jacobs's The Monkey's Paw with several more recent tales. Especially compelling are three first-person narratives: Graeme Malcolm's tale, told as if to spook party guests, of A.M. Burrage's Smee,Grover Gardner's bemused account of encounters with a seemingly delusional lady friend in Isaac Bashevis Singer's The Cafeteria,and Colleen Delany's descent into madness as her character probes the secrets of The Yellow Wallpaper in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's tale. With one exception--a Will Self excerpt that is more sick than spooky--these tales were well chosen and are grippingly performed. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine"
