Read OTRANTO and enjoyed it but will hold off on the other two stories until I finish the Alan Ryan anthology. OTRANTO, recognized as the first Gothic Romance, revels the strange things likely to happen when chivalry and carnality clash like raging armies. Good stuff. Read six of the stories in HALLOWEEN HORRORS and all are excellent with the first, Robert R. McCammon's "He'll Come Knocking At Your Door" being the best. It's the story about a guy who --- no, let me try it another way, it's the story about a small community where --- no, that won't work either either. Let me just say after reading the ending twice I still can't believe what I read!
