An anthology of science fiction stories from the golden age of sci-fi, selected by Piers Anthony, as the stories that turned him on to science fiction. Some of them have not aged well.

Was not aware of this one. Going to have to look it up. Sometimes the badder the better.:)

Most of the stories are excellent, but a few of the earlier ones really show how writing has developed in the past 60 years.

Yeah never lend books you want to have back again. I learned that the hard way. That said, I Am Legend is definitely work a re-purchase. I am really enjoying it and am not a humongous vampire fan.

THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS by James Fenimore Cooper. Yeah, I know, it ain't horror but it's pretty exciting with some good fight scenes. Of course, with all the scalping and the stabbing of bodies to make sure they're really dead, the spirit of horror is never far behind.

I'm finishing The Passage by Justin Cronin. For the most part it is so well-written it makes me rethink my own writing. But I find it turning into cliched scenes from action/horror movies we've all seen too frequently toward the middle-end.

It seems more and more novels are reading like screenplays these days. Anyone else feel that?
