Midnight Graffiti by Jessica HorstingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I think I picked this book up at a church book sale somewhere in Connecticut. It's been a while, so I don't really remember, but the fact that it contained a Stephen King short story caught my attention.
I probably would never have kept this book around, let alone reread it at least twice, probably three times, if not for the second story in the book, "Say Hello, Mister Quigley" by J. Michael Straczynski. I remember reading it for the first time in the basement of the house where I was living in New Haven, waiting for the laundry to finish. I loved the feeling of being so scared in a creepy setting at night, reading that short story. And then that ending! Loved it.
I felt like the rest paled in comparison, but some of the others I liked: "Murder Mysteries" by Neil Gaiman and "Dark Embrace" by James Van Hise. I had already read "Rainy Season" by Stephen King in his own collection, but I didn't find it all that great. I really did not like "Bad Guy Hats" by David J. Schow and really did not understand "Spike Jones and Reverend Sister Claudine."
