Praise
“Experienced anthologist Hugh Lamb brings together a great deal of 20th century talent for this long-forgotten paperback horror anthology. As far as I know there were only ever two books in this series, which is a pity as THE STAR BOOK OF HORROR NO. 1 makes for fine reading. Most of the authors are well-known to horror fans although there are a few unfamiliars mixed in too.“

Goodreads Reviewer
“This is one of the best horror anthologies to have been brought out by any publishing in recent years and is strongly recommended to all horror enthusiasts. Future volumes in the Star series are eagerly awaited!”
