Darkness

(2010)
Two Decades of Modern Horror
An anthology of stories edited by

 
 
Compiling the finest in frightening tales, this unique anthology offers a diverse selection of horror culled from the last 25 years. Hand selected from cutting-edge authors, each work blends subtle psychology and mischievousness with disturbingly visceral imagery. In the classic 'Chattery Teeth,' Stephen King provides a tautly drawn account of a traveling salesman who unwisely picks up yet another hitchhiker, while in Peter Straub's eerie 'The Juniper Tree,' a man whose nostalgia for the movies of his childhood leads to his stolen innocence. Renowned fantasy author George R R Martin weaves a sinister yarn about a young woman encountering a neighbor who is overly enamored with her in 'The Pear-Shaped Man.' Combining acclaimed masters of the macabre, such as Clive Barker, Poppy Z Brite, and Thomas Ligotti, with bold new talents to the genre, including Kelly Link, Neil Gaiman, and Stephen King's son, Joe Hill, this distinctive collection of stories will delight and terrify.
