"Anyone who loves creature features or old paperbacks (see the blowup of Richard Matheson's classic I Am Legend), who reveres the Transylvanian count or yearns to follow in the footsteps pawprints? of Cthulhu will find Horror of the 20th Century a treat far more delicious than any number of miniture Snicker's bars." The Washington Post
