any short story collections ud recommend
 
hey

ive only read a couple of horror books, im mostly into horror movies. but i read a very entertaining horror book called 'omnibus of horror' and it had a collection of short stories which were great. im gonna try and find some more to read.

so anyone know any other good books of short horror stories?

"Omnibus of Horror," huh? I'll have to check that out...

I'll suggest "The Museum of Horrors," although I have yet to read it...

Cool cover, though!

Hell yeah! Those are some of the best...

Hard to find, too. Or was that just me...?

They might have reprinted them since, but I've got the original printings, which is sort of neat...

Poppy Z. Brite has a few collections, I've read and enjoyed 'Wormwood' and 'Are You Loathsome Tonight'?

Short stories recomendation
 
I would recamend 'Vampires, Encounter with the Undead' by david Skal.
I'm only a couple of stories in but what I have read is great,
All the stories are real old like written back in the 1700's and the 1800's
