“25 Most Familiar Horror Plots” listing contains self-explanatory entries like “I’m Really in Hell!,” “The Magic Typewriter,” “The Living House,” “You Can’t Cheat Fate” and “It Was Only a Dream,” all inspired by the submissions Klein received during his Twilight Zone tenure. Klein’s commentaries on the various entries are witty, informed and always on the mark. The list made for one of the more memorable portions of the essential BOOK OF LISTS: HORROR (2008), though without the Kuper illustrations or Klein’s preceding essay, which taken together make for a worthwhile collector’s item." - Bedlam Files
