![]() ![]() Still, no story about apes can be all bad. ![]() And once again, I didn't find a single surprising thing about it. However, "His Receding Brow" isn't exactly a horror story. I didn't know Max Brand wrote horror, but I should have suspected it. Howard's "The Dead Remember" was another "surprise ending" story that didn't work so well, but I liked it anyway, maybe because Howard wrote it. Lovecraft's "Cool Air." Maybe there was a time when these would have been shocking or surprising, but no longer. One that disappointed me was Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Captian of the 'Pole Star.'" I knew where this one was going long before the end, and it was far from chilling. It had some stories I wasn't familiar with, and I thought I'd enjoy the "chilling tales of horror." Maybe I'm old and jaded, but I didn't have as much fun with them as I'd hoped. I was in a short-story reading mood a while back and picked up this little volume. ![]()
