Half-Minute Horrors

Half-Minute Horrors edited by Susan Rich  141 pp.

I glanced through this book when it was being processed and decided it was worth a further look. It's a juvenile collection of very short (1-2 page) scary vignettes, poems, and graphic tales by adult and children's book authors. What caught my eye was the 2 page, 2 sentence, graphic version of James' Turn of the Screw, which made me laugh. I was surprised that the works of my favorite authors (Gaiman, Black, Spinelli, et al) were not my favorites. And it might be awhile before I eat lasagna again thanks to M.T. Anderson.
