Summary: Decent. A few gems.
Comment: The best stories in NIGHT SCREAMS are:

"Trolls" by Christopher Fahy

"Good Vibrations" by Richard Laymon

"The Wringer" by F. Paul Wilson

At least half of the stories are good.

Some other good stories:
The dripping by David Morrell
The Tulsa Experience by Lawrence Block
Small deaths by Charles de Lint
White lightning by Al Sarrantonio
Hitman by Rick Hautala
And eight rabid pigs by David Gerrold.
Corpse carnival by Ray Bradbury

I was a little disappointed by:
"A season of change" by Richard T. Chizmar
"Redemption" by Jack Ketchum
"Beasts in Buildings, Turning 'Round" by J.N. Williamson
"The book of blood" by Clive Barker

The only bad thing about Cliver Barker's story is that it is so short. It's too short to warrant having Barker's name on the cover.

Lawrence Block's story "The Tulsa Experience" starts out slow but the payoff is worth it.

F. Paul Wilson's story "The Wringer" features Repairman Jack.

The stories by Christopher Fahy and Richard Laymon are my favorites. Check out some of their novels too.
I suggest:
NIGHTFLYER and THE LYSSA SYNDROME by Christopher Fahy
AMONG THE MISSING by Richard Laymon

Rating: 2
Summary: Wouldnt recommend
Comment: I really didnt care for this horror anthology. There were no stories that reached out and grabbed me by the back of the neck. Usually I read through these kind of anthologies in about a month or so but I've owned this book for a couple years and still havent managed to work my way through all the stories in it so maybe there are some gems hidden away somewhere?

Rating: 1
Summary: A very weak collection
Comment: One of the worst horror anthologies I've read. Not only are there no worthwhile stories within, but there are more significantly BAD stories in this collection than in any other I've read. Avoid this book and strike a blow against mediocrity in horror fiction.
