And then… there were the other stories… which delved into insane issues, off-kilter writing styles, violent twisted viewpoints, and drugged deranged plots that made me feel uncomfortable… which, even though they were not my cup of tea, I still highly admired because I love reading and seeing things from different perspectives than my own. The stories range in intensity from the sheer grit of "Bad Guy Hats" to the quirky "Bob the Dinosaur Goes to Disneyland. I think of them at least once a week on the norm and more than that if I am writing something of my own, and looking for the vibes I picked up from those stories to share now, with my readers. Stephen King's "Rainy Season" is passable, but classic King filler; Neil Gaiman impresses as always - perhaps more so alongside some of the less experienced authors included in this collection. Both of Branham’s stories sucked, but allowing him to dominate at something is unthinkable (even if that something is having the most shitty stories included in this colelction), so I had to flip a coin to determine which travesty got a shot at the ‘honors’.

I want to get married says the world's smallest man: I can't explain why I liked this story, as it was pretty strange. NANCY COLLINS demystifies the messiah reborn, an avenging angel of the suburbs with a strange and savage appetite.I had never heard of the publication "Midnight Graffiti" before, but I wish more publications like it existed now.

Michael Straczynski's "Say Hello, Mister Quigley" is simultaneously disturbing and heartwarming; Joe Lansdale's "Bob the Dinosaur Goes to Disneyland" is a fun and clever satire, though not at all horror; "Blue on One End, Yellow on the Other" by K. That said, I think it is important to bear in mind that some people can find stories that are designed to be pleasant, unpleasant.Eight issues were published in total, seven between 1988-1992, with the final Winter 1994/1995 issue (''Midnight Graffiti Special'') appearing several years later. Many of the stories in this book were very fun to read, all of them being fairly enjoyable in their own sense. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Maine at Orono in 1970, he became a teacher.

Rather shockingly, Neil Gaiman, who I usually couldn’t care one way or the other about, actually has one of the few worthwhile reads within, with “Murder Mysteries”, a roundabout indictment of God’s alleged Master Plan and borrowing heavily from the once-popular mythos of something referred to as 'heaven' and ‘angels’. After that, the remainder is really bad: very short tales “Cattletruck” by Cliff Burns and “Salvation” by Lawrence Person are both rather pointless and lame while striving to be meaningful and thought-provoking, and Joe Lansdale’s attempt at comedy with “Bob the Dinosaur Goes to Disneyland” falls flat.

A good number of the stories rely too heavily on Reagan/Bush-era shock factor, which is horribly dated and uninteresting in 2018.
