There are some very famous authors inside (for example, who knew that Ray Bradbury wrote horror fiction?) and all the stories were absorbing and interesting.\u00c2\u00a0 Every story has an interesting, unusual bent to it; for example, &#8220;Dark Delicacies of the Dead&#8221; is a take-off of the store, including vignettes with authors who are friends of the store owners.\u00c2\u00a0 I especially liked &#8220;Black Mill Cove,&#8221; a story about a man seeking abalone (and that&#8217;s not all he found, or lost) and &#8220;All My Bloody Things&#8221; which brings a new vision on cannibalism.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend this book; there are three anthologies in all, I&#8217;m glad I bought all three!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"translate_block\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<hr class=\"translate_hr\" \/>\n<a class=\"translate_translate\" id=\"translate_button_post-6440\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\" href=\"javascript:show_translate_popup('en', 'post', 6440);\"><span>Translate<\/span><\/a><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/google-ajax-translation\/transparent.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" id=\"translate_loading_post-6440\" class=\"translate_loading colorbox-6440\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Dark Delicacies: Original Tales of Terror and the Macabre by the World&#8217;s Greatest Horror Writers Author:Del Howison (Editor), Geff Gelb (Editor) Paperback: 272 pages Publisher: Carroll &amp; Graf (August 31, 2005) Language: English ISBN-10: 0786716762 ASIN: B00127SGSS I got this book at the bookstore Dark Delicacies, and yes, they published this collection of horror [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[951,950,949,118],"class_list":["post-6440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","tag-bookstore-dark-delicacies","tag-del-howison","tag-ray-bradbury","tag-science-fiction"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2w3Qj-1FS","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6440\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
