While not every story is equal in this terrific little anthology, most of them are exactly the sort of classic horror bites I want to read

Review: SHADOWS OVER MAIN STREET VOLUME 2 (Various Authors. Editors, Doug Murano and D. Alexander Ward)
This extraordinary anthology series continues, with this new volume. It's readily understandable that the Editors, Doug Murano and D. Alexander Ward, are Bram Stoker Award nominees. Their ability to identify and collate excellence is definitely gifted.
Often when reading a collection or anthology, I keep a mental running total of my personal favorites, but for SHADOWS OF MAIN STREET VOLUME 2, I would have to list every single entry. Here we have horror: subtle, scary, all-consuming. We have Lovecraftian overtones, of Elder Gods, of cosmic horrors inconceivable, worshipped by incalculable monsters, holding the universe hostage. If your spine doesn't chill, if your hair doesn't stand vertical, if your skin isn't 100% goosebumps_then you must not have read this anthology.

Pretty good read. This collection has more good stories than bad. There are a couple of duds but for the most part an enjoyable read.

Some of the best authors in the business contribute to this collection of dark horror that is sure to give you the shivers. Check 'em out: Gary Braunbeck, Willie Meikle, Joe Lansdale, Max Booth III, and the names go on and on. Joe and Max's stories were very dark - and very enjoyable. I'm used to them writing more humorous stories. Lucy Snyder's story was so good, such a great way to start the collection. John F.D. Taff is in there as well. I don't think he can tell a bad story.
Don't miss the foreword by Laird Barron! I tend to just skim forewords, but hey, it's Laird Barron. You'll want to read this one.
Yeah, there were a couple of stories that were just ok. That's the way it falls. But the great stories more than make up for that. Don't miss out on this one. It's awesome.
