I think that the Body Snatchers by R.L. Stevenson is a really good book of the macbre and of horror. This book makes his The Strange Case Of Doctor Jekyll & Mister Hyde look like a walk in the park. When I read this book, it made me hang on to the edge of my seat, because some of the tales about what the people were doing was just down right scary, like the title of the book. I just think about back in the 1800's, there was actually people who stole bodies from graveyards for a living, and some of those people made some serious money off of it, too. Reading this book makes me glad that I didn't live during that time period, where if I died, I could be dug up, and sold to a medical school for the medical students to cut me up like I was a frog to be cut open and worked on. That's how the medical students would do it, too, just like a frog for a modern day middle school science class would do it today. But if you like some serious horror reading, I suggest reading this book, even though it's out of print, it's worth getting, because it may be worth lots & lots of money later..

I thought this was an excellent book. The epilogue alone is worth the price of the book. Builds on what Polsky started with his book. Quite interesting.

Carefully researched, well-illustrated overview of this emerging technology.

Anyone not familiar with James Haining, is missing out. Salt Lick was wonderful and unique. A treasure!

I read this book and it is the most brilliant, inspiring book I've ever read. It has funny poems, along with serious ones, which makes a good combination. If anyone out there wants to be a poet, I suggest they read that!

This book of poetry by RLS is childhood at it's most innocent. It's sad to find out it is out of print. The Swing, is a wonderful and sweet reflection of a simple and sometimes long forgotten act. "How do I like to go up in a swing..." brings back the smiles, warmth and freedom of childhood. It is a must for any parent at bedtime. For new parents and grandparents it is a must.

this item was great for my 10 year old who enjoys making up poetry herself

This book is great. Aside from the fact that there's a cute little dog in every page, the book teaches a very important moral. If you sit down just for five minutes with this book, you'll never put it down until you're finished with it! Wishbone is great!

The Great Illustrated classics are great (no pun intended) The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde is so cool. I love this book. on a scale from 1 to 10 I give it an 11. You can't put it down. I like the pic's they were made very good. This book is so cool. and if you like the word hot then this book is so hot. This book is good for all ages. I love it and you will too. Get it and injoy it. READ IT!

A astounding collection of classic tales of the macabre. Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde takes up about half of the book; the remainder contains storie such as Markhiem, The Bottle Imp, and the Body Snatcher. Written in a fast paced, articulate demeanor, this book leaves one hanging at the edge of his seat. I hope you don't fall off.
