Why read it?
1 author picked Shadows on the Wall as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I went to the book launch in support of this author and had the pleasure of meeting him in person. I had not known much of his work previously but that has never stopped me from accepting an invitation to attend. I got the book home and made a start and was hooked by his elegant writing style. This is a book of short horror stories, each beautifully crafted, and inspirational as well as enjoyable. Collected works are a hard thing to get right, and Paulsen makes it look easy.
From David's list on horror fiction providing the most fun being scared.
