"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...

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

I wont to have my baby, I wont to have my baby." susan said she looked Sharon straight in the eye and said "look, bitch, I dont care about you. I dont care if you are going to have a baby. You better be ready, You're going to die and I dont feel anything about it."
Then susan said "In a few minutes I killed her and she was dead"
After killing sharon susan noticed there was blood on her hand she tasted it. "wow what a trip" she told Virginia. "I thought to taste death, and yet give life."
