"I bought the book mostly for Stephen King's stories (which, it turns out, I had already read 2 of the 3) but ended up liking George R. R. Martin's "The Skin Trade" story the most. "

Skin Trade Listener Reviews

" I really loved this book. I'm a fan of short horror and erotic horror, and this book gave me just what I wanted. "
— Briana, 11/17/2013 -
" 4 Stars for the collection. Breaking that down by author, I'd rate them this way: Dan Simmons - 4 1/2, Stephen King 3 1/2, George R. R. Martin - 5 "

" This gets five stars just for George R.R. Martin's werewolf novella. Everything else is just tasty frosting. "
— Linda, 9/10/2013 -
" Introduced me to Dan Simmons and George R.R. Martin. Some of my favorite short stories, although King's didn't do much for me. "
— Drew, 6/9/2013 -
" This book has possibly the greatest werewolf story ever written, if it was just that story it would get five stars, but let down by some of the other content. "
— Stu, 5/31/2013 -
" Loved this book to death, and my biggest surprise upon reading it years and years ago? The Martin and Simmons stories stole the show from the tales by King. "

" A mixed author collection that includes 3 stories by King which is of course why I picked it up. Enjoyed the whole book though. Stories also by Dan Simmons and George Martin. "
— Carol, 10/10/2011 -
" A small collection of stories by famous authors. A good dip into book. "
— Trevor, 8/22/2011 -
" I only like the final story called "Skin Trade" by George R.R. Martin. The rest of the book isn't worth reading. Slow stories that go nowhere. "

" LOVED The Skin Trade - the other stories are good as well, but this is one story that has stayed with me for years. "
