Darkness, both literal and psychological, holds its own
unique fascination. Despite our fears, or perhaps because of
them, readers have always been drawn to tales of death,
terror, madness, and the supernatural, and no more so than
today when a wildly imaginative new generation of dark
dreamers is carrying on in the tradition of Poe and
Lovecraft and King, crafting exquisitely disturbing literary
nightmares that gaze without flinching into the abyss—and
linger in the mind long after.
Multiple award-winning editor Ellen Datlow knows the darkest
corners of fiction and poetry better than most. Once again,
she has braved the haunted landscape of modern horror to
seek out the most chilling new works by both legendary
masters of the genre and fresh young talents. Here are
twisted hungers and obsessions, human and otherwise, along
with an unsettling variety of spine-tingling fears and
fantasies. The cutting edge of horror has never cut deeper
than in this comprehensive showcase of the very best the
field has to offer. Enter at your own risk.
