Any additional comments?

This is the type of horror that will speak to your silly side. These stories are more sci-fi than horror in my opinion, but they were fun nonetheless. If you like your horror with a serious dose of fantasy than you will love this book!!

Retro Awesomeness!

If you're into radio serials, golden age comics, penny dreadfuls and films like Zorro, this is the book for you! You can feel the love for old school adventure as you listen to this.
