13 More Tales of Horror by Various (Part One)

Title: 13 More Tales of Horror by Various

Summary: A terrifying journey into horror – thirteen tales guaranteed to fill you with fear. What are the mysterious creatures stalking the woods at night, and who will be their next prey? A chilling game of cat and mouse! Who is the mysterious party guest in the frighteningly real costume? Each breath he takes is death. Isn’t it lucky that the beautiful ring is so cheap? It’s all she wants for her birthday. Only this gift drives Kate out of her mind… Thirteen master storytellers invite you on a rollercoaster ride through the imagination. How much can you take?

Tagline: None

Note: As Dove requested, I’ve updated my template, because we now apparently call the Bad Guys Muffin Man. Hey, it makes as much sense as most Point Horrors.

Initial Thoughts:

I’ve read this one before, mostly because Dove threw it at me and told me I would love the first story, “The Cat-Dogs” by Susan Price. She was not wrong. I remember enjoying this collection a lot more than I did 13 Tales of Horror (Part One, Part Two, Part Three), but we’ll see if that is actually true.

I will not be doing counters for the stories, because last time I find it annoying with short stories. I originally planned to do this in two parts, but I forgot how long each short story recap is, so instead we’ll break it into three parts.

[Dove: I adore this set of stories.  It’s the absolute best of all of the Thirteens (Tales, Again and More). I knew I could get Wing to read them with The Cat-Dogs as the opening story.]

[Wing: Should I be worried that Dove knows how to manipulate me into doing what she wants? Probably.]

Fire and Water (Point Crime: Lawless & Tilley) (Used) | Malcolm Rose | Awesome Books

Did anyone read an old point crime series called Lawless and Tilley (1997/1998) by Malcolm Rose, about a detective partnership in South Yorkshire?

Brett Lawless was a DI who had an interest in solving crimes with a scientific background, relying a lot on evidence rather than intuition.

Clare Tilley was a DS who partnered with him, who often understood the criminal mind better and used her intuition during cases.

It was a really good series and I was always rather taken by Clare and her partnership with Brett both solving crimes and outside of work.

I am currently writing a piece of fiction following on from the last story for my own pleasure as I didn't like the ending, but I wondered if anyone else remembered it or would be interested in reading it? I draw on a lot of references from previous books, so a knowledge of the books is helpful but you can possibly get by without it.
