Best New Horror Volume 15

In spite of the other negative reviews for this horror anthology, I find the stories in the 15th installment in the "Best New Horror" to be quite interesting, even if they are more on the strange side than the scary side. He are some of the stories in this anthology that I have thus far read: "Fear the Dead"- A young boy copes mysteriously with the death of his grandmother. "Seven Feet"- An ancient rat plague gruesomely returns to modern society. "Hunter Lake"- Creepy happenings at a haunted marsh lake. "Cell Call"- A very interesting story about a man trapped in a Twilight Zone-like place in the far off woods. "The Bereavement Photographer"- A mysterious tale of a man who photographs couples and dead children. He begins to notice weird details in his photos. "Mr. Sly Goes for a Cup of Joe"- A real life story about a store robbery. I am still reading the others, and suggust you read them all as well. Though this may not be as strong as the previous entries in the series, it is still worth reading and purchasing for 13 bucks.
