I still have the last 4 stories to read, but Thriller is the first anthology I've read in years that contained no clunkers. I bought it for the Gregg Hurwitz and F. Paul Wilson stories, and had only read a couple of the authors in it. So I've been pleasantly surprised by all the stories and authors. Some are better than others, but all of them have been good, which is very rare. In fact, I'm not sure that's been true of any anthology for me since Silver Scream and Stalkers from the late '80s. And now I have more authors to seek out.

(Has anyone else here read Gregg Hurwitz's novels? I've enjoyed them all immensely.)

Only one reason I bought THRILLER was RJ short story. Otherwise, I'd wait for translated edition.

I woke up and tore through "Interlude At Duane's". I loved it; RJ at his improvisational best.

It was like a Die Hard. At first, he struggled with robberies without a gun. So what was that weapon he got in drug store? Band-Aids, Ice cream, Curling Iron....Cheetos, Beef jerky.....? No, it's spatula! Repairman Jack got spatula! LOL I couldn't imagine he use spatula as a weapon! I like that!

I agree. Talk about anything being a weapon. I was especially fond of douche-bag Demont's demise.
