February 12, 2003: This horror anthology provides fans with the introductory story that seventeen reader favorites started their illustrious respective career (d?j? vu with last month?s MAGICAL BEGINNINGS). The contributions are fun to read if only to compare the opening gamut of a renowned author with their most recent work. Each tale provides an introduction that brings further focus on the writer. The collection is well done with delightful selections from a virtual who?s who of the genre, but the quality varies though none are horrible. As with MAGICAL BEGINNINGS, HORRIBLE BEGINNINGS is than the occasional horror reader. Harriet Klausner
