When I was a kid I vaguely remember someone having a volume of Books of Blood and saying that it was super scary and they couldn't even sleep with the book in the same room. I'm thinking it was this book but maybe not... anyway that was what I went into thinking before reading the first volume. And for the most part it is a scary book... even more so than the Stephen King I've read. I really enjoyed the stories... they were all pretty varied and had different types of scares. Three of the stories stick out as being the best... one was about a serial killer on the subway, another about a demon that tries to destroy a normal guy (it is actually played for laughs and is comedic) and one that ended up being about a possessed pig that does horrible stuff. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the volumes, this one gets an A-.
