“I’ve always thought that the short story was the ideal format for spooky fiction. While there are no more magazines like Weird Tales or Unknown, the publisher of DAW Books remains true to the tradition. THE YEAR’S BEST HORROR STORIES anthology seems destined to become as important a fixture as the old magazines were. The latest one indicates a healthy level of craftsmanship and imaginative fertility in a field which has so few outlets for budding writers."
So wrote Don Hutchison in his review of the previous collection. This year continues the high tradition with a spine-chilling selection by the series’ new editor, the well-known writer of fantastic adventure, Karl Edward Wagner. The eighth annual includes favorite writers as: HARLAN ELLISON, RUSSELL KIRK, CHARLES L. GRANT, EDDY C. BERTIN, HUGH B. CAVE, RAMSEY CAMPBELL, and many more!
