Northern Frights V

Like most anthologies, this one is a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the stories were really good, some were not so good, one was called “night of the tar baby”, and I couldn't even bring myself to read it. A surprisingly high number of the stories seemed to have some connection to food and eating. I suppose that connection makes sense: after all, good horror is about striking at our most primitive sense of reality, right? So many recent stories have already centred around sex, so I suppose that it's only natural that the other basic instinct gets looked at as well.
