DESCRIPTION:
a few noteworthy entries in this 'Haunted Subway' collection J. Higgins `The End of the Line' (Solaris, 2010, 358 pp.) features 19 stories all centered on the theme of modern underground transportation as the setting for supernatural encounters. All stories were originally written for this anthology. As most of the contributors are English, there is an emphasis on the subway and rail systems of the UK.My thoughts on the entries:The best story in the collection is Nicholas Royle's `The Lure' which is not a horror story per se, but rather, a Hitchcockian tale about a young British man who, during a year abroad in Paris, encounters a mysterious and alluring older woman. The story is carefully crafted . MissScarlett said Thrill Ride. I enjoyed this collection very much.Some stories more weird than horrific, and didnt that clear ending that I like, but I stillenjoyed the trip.. ThirstyMindBooks via Rachel Dean said Meh. Booooring. I own over Meh Booooring. I own over 300 books of horror and anthologies, this was super boring and I couldnt really find a common point in them. Donated it to local library. 00 books of horror and anthologies, this was super boring and I couldnt really find a common point in them. Donated it to local library
