Though I was prompted to pick this up with the recent news of the upcoming movie based on Hansen's killings, I'd been meaning to read it for years, after picking up my mom's copy and having her tell me that as a child, I actually knew Hansen, and had gone over to his house to play with his kids. The story is chilling enough on its own; the fact that it's all real, happened in my lifetime and where I grew up, and that it was Hansen was someone I and my family knew and associated with just makes it even more creepy. Hansen is a scary, disturbed man. Hopefully the movie does the story, and Anchorage, justice.

A really good collection of "tales of the macabre" (which I find far more accurate and descriptive than simply labeling it as "horror"). With entries written by authors ranging from H.G. Wells and Bram Stoker to Ray Bradbury, there's a wide range of style, and several pleasantly creepy tales. The final entry was a particular surprise in that it's actually a non-fiction piece: Frederick Treves's account of his friendship with Joseph (John) Merrick, the "Elephant Man". All in all, a very enjoyable anthology.

Niven is definitely one of my favorites. Not every story is stellar, but they're all good.

An odd little collection of stories all loosely based around the concept of life in a future America of the mid-2000s or so during and after a huge population explosion. Written in the 60s and obviously dated in quite a few ways (personal cameras are referred to as "Brownies", for one). Some amusing bits, overall, interesting enough to be worth the dollar I paid for it at a Goodwill.
