NIGHTMARES: A NEW DECADE OF MODERN HORROR

Edited by Ellen Datlow

“Horror anthologist extraordinaire”
—Publishers Weekly on Ellen Datlow

From horror’s most acclaimed editor comes the most groundbreaking horror of the new millennium. In NIGHTMARES, editor extraordinaire Ellen Datlow has skillfully reprised her classic anthology DARKNESS: TWO DECADES OF MODERN HORROR.

“Ellen Datlow is a tremendously influential figure in horror circles, and this collection is one more significant milestone to be set among the score or so other titles and collections listed in its front matter.”
—See the Elephant

In these twenty-four chilling tales, you will find iconic authors—including Richard Kadrey, Garth Nix, Caitlín R. Kiernan, and Gene Wolfe—reminding us that evil will simply not go away. Two inexperienced thieves discover a residence that makes Home Alone seem like a playground romp. Concerned parents struggle with morality while their cruel child courts fairy revenge. The Ash Mouth Man might be just a legend to girls who wish to waste away—but is he worth just one kiss?

“An excellent collection over all, featuring some of the best voices in horror. It has something to suit a wide variety of tastes, blending stories about real life trauma and bloodshed, to stories that pass into the realms of cosmic terror, horror in the old west and even those with a grim fairytale-like feel. In these pages you will find a nightmare for every horror fan.”
—This is Horror

“There is something for everyone here from serial killers, to zombies, to demons to shape shifters.”
—Shining Star Reviews
