Good review! I haven't read the first one.<br /><br />I can recommend "The Damned Thing" by Bierce - a short scary story about a man who is stalked by something he can't see (we find out about this after his death). That story just sticks with you; it contains a lot of the elements of memorable horror: a man thinking he's going mad, a monster/creature that won't stop and won't go away, a mangled body, etc.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986179846357989946.post-28971153272736483612011-10-06T05:01:46.396+05:302011-10-06T05:01:46.396+05:30I read "Occurrence at Oak Bridge" a few ...I read "Occurrence at Oak Bridge" a few months ago-it is a very disturbing story just as you beautifully depicted it-it was the basis for one of the best ever "Twilight Zone" American TV shows-this is the only one of his works I have read so far though I do not know what is really holding me back from reading a few more-Mel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.com
