Fearful Symmetries

Thomas F. Monteleone

Fearful Symmetries is a very lengthy short story collection from the always-entertaining (and often controversial) Monteleone. Featuring dozens of short stories and very detailed Story Notes, this collection is a wonderful read and is sure to garner some year-end awards!

100 Jolts: Shockingly Short Stories

Michael A. Arnzen

“Horror is the genre of the jolt, the shock, the spark. The horror story’s conflict is always a matter of life and death, but death…almost always comes too soon—that’s why we fear it.” —Michael A. Arnzen

And now readers have a new reason to be afraid. One hundred new reasons!

The Machinery of Night

Douglas Clegg

A massive short story collection from this best-selling author, collecting virtually ALL of Douglas Clegg’s chilling short stories and novellas, as well as featuring brand new, never-before-published fiction!

This collection features nearly forty works of fiction, is almost 250,000 words in length, and has nine never-before-seen works and one never before in-print novelette, along with two complete novellas.

The Machinery of Night is a landmark collection and one of the best books of the year!

Demonized

Christopher Fowler

Welcome to Christopher Fowler’s ninth collection of stories of urban dread, designed to fill your waking dreams with dark fears and even darker laughter.

A journalist spends a nerve-wracking weekend in the company of Nazis. A tropical holiday takes a nasty turn thanks to a troupe of monkeys, and a waitress challenges a sinister customer in a night restaurant. A tailor plots to escape his execution, London is overrun with rats, serial killers fall in love, and revenge backfires on the unfaithful. As our lives and deaths grow ever stranger, housewives, students, and executives all find themselves in situations that become increasingly disturbing.

Fowler’s powerful narratives are subtly affecting and will make you think twice about the way you look at the world around you.

Fears Unnamed

Tim Lebbon

Tim Lebbon has burst upon the scene and established himself as one of the best horror writers at work today. He is the winner of numerous awards, including a Bram Stoker Award, critics have raved about his work, and fans have eagerly embraced him as a contemporary master of the macabre. Perhaps nowhere are the reasons for his popularity more evident than in this collection of four of his most chilling novellas. Two of these dark gems received British Fantasy Awards, and another was written specifically for this book and has never previously been published. These terrifying tales form a window into a world of horrors that, once experienced, can never be forgotten.
