Description: An anthology of the years best short horror fiction.
It's a good book for discovering new authors. The stories range from ghost stories to monsters to the weird and quirky. My personal favourites were:
Under Fog by Tanith Lee - A look at the dark secrets harboured by a community struggling to survive.
The New York Times at Special Bargain Rates by Stephen King - King always sucks you into his characters.
The Beginnings of Sorrow by Pinckney Benedict - Unusual story of change and living with fear.
The Place of Waiting by Brian Lumley - I'd avoided reading Lumley up until now, this story looks at death, grief and the afterlife. Left me with a sense of unease.
Rating: 3/5
