A collection of original horror and dark fantasy from the world's best writers, including Stephen King, John Ajvide Lindqvist, Elizabeth Hand, and more.
Many of us grew up on The Pan Book of Horror Stories and its later incarnations, Dark Voices and Dark Terrors (The Gollancz Book of Horror), which won the World Fantasy Award, the Horror Critics' Guild Award and the British Fantasy Award, but for a decade or more there has been no non-themed anthology of original horror fiction published in the mainstream. Now that horror has returned to the bookshelves, it is time for a regular anthology of brand-new fiction by the best and brightest in the field, both the Big Names and the most talented newcomers including:
Ramsey CampbellPeter CrowtherDennis EtchisonElizabeth HandBrian HodgeCaitlin R. KiernanStephen KingJohn Ajvide LindqvistRichard Christian MathesonReggie OliverRobert ShearmanAngela SlatterMichael Marshall SmithLisa Tuttle
A Book of Horrors will be the foremost in the field: an eclectic collection of the very best chiller fiction from across the world.
"A splendid collection that showcases everything that's best about both the short story and the horror anthology." —SFX magazine
"The abundance of talent will provide ample delights and frights for anyone in search of true classic horror." ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
