A town is held hostage by an unholy bargain made by some
of the inhabitants; a party game on Halloween brings back
memories better left forgotten; one misstep changes the
balance of survival during the apocalypse; a group of
seemingly typical travelers are stranded in an airport; a
widowerβs holiday in a seaside town becomes a nightmare .
. .
The Best Horror of the Year showcases the previous yearβs
best offerings in short fiction horror. This edition
includes award-winning and critically acclaimed authors
Neil Gaiman, Kelley Armstrong, Stephen Graham Jones,
Carmen Maria Machado, and more.
For more than three decades, award-winning editor and
anthologist Ellen Datlow has had her finger on the pulse
of the latest and most terrifying in horror writing. Night

annual series, a new collection of stories to keep you up
at night.
