Clint Willis is the series editor of the Adrenaline series. His twelve anthologies for the series include Climb: Stories of Survival From Rock, Snow and Ice and Wild. Stories of Survival from the World's Most Dangerous Places, also available through Mainstream. He lives with his wife and two sons in Cape Elizabeth USA.
This collection of creepy stories mixes classics such as Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" and W.W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" with several more recent tales. Especially compelling are three first-person narratives: Graeme Malcolm's tale, told as if to spook party guests, of A.M. Burrage's "Smee"; Grover Gardner's bemused account of encounters with a seemingly delusional lady friend in Isaac Bashevis Singer's "The Cafeteria"; and Colleen Delany's descent into madness as her character probes the secrets of "The Yellow Wallpaper" in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's tale. With one exception--a Will Self excerpt that is more sick than spooky--these tales were well chosen and are grippingly performed.
