“Basic Black: Tales of Appropriate Fear ”

written by Harriet Klausner on 22/02/2006

Basic Black: Tales of Appropriate Fear

Terry Dowling

Cemetery Dance, Dec 2005, $40.00, 320 pp.

ISBN: 1587671239



This eighteen short story collection lives up to its subtitle, as each contribution leaves readers fearing the dark. The tales range from psychological suspense starring an individual who is dreading the worst is about to occur, or worse, not even aware of danger until it arrives, as Mr. Rodan does with tea on The Bone Ship, the kind of horror that feels scary when the lights fail to shine through the blackness of bumps in the night.



The horror stories contain a wide spectrum from ghosts (my personal favorite is "The Daemon Street Ghost-Trap) to The Gully, where once you enter you can never leave. Fans who appreciate a strong compilation and do not mind leaving the lights on all night will enjoy this wonderful anthology, in which Death is just another passenger riding with readers on Scaring the Train.
