About the book
This sophisticated, scary anthology collects the best horror fiction published between 1984 and 2005, one of horror s most innovative eras. These exceptionally diverse stories, hand-picked by horror-expert editor Ellen Datlow, are tales of the subtly psychological, the unpredictably mischievous, and the disturbingly visceral.
Here are classics, such as horror master Stephen King s Chattery Teeth, the tautly drawn account of a traveling salesman who unwisely picks up yet another hitchhiker; Peter Straub s eerie The Juniper Tree, describing a man whose nostalgia for the movies of his childhood leads to his stolen innocence; and George R. R. Martin s sinister The Pear-Shaped Man, in which a young woman encounters a neighbor who likes her a bit too much.
Whether you grew up on Clive Barker s Books of Blood; Joyce Carol Oates s Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? ; Neil Gaiman s Sandman; or are newly discovering Stephen King s son, breakout author Joe Hill; there is something here for everyone who enjoys being more than just a little bit scared.
