Synopsis

A bone-chilling anthology from legendary horror editor Ellen Datlow, Screams from the Dark contains twenty-nine all-original tales about monsters.

From werewolves and vampires, to demons and aliens, the monster is one of the most recognizable figures in horror. But what makes something, or someone, monstrous?

Award-winning and up-and-coming authors like Richard Kadrey, Cassandra Khaw, Indrapramit Das, Priya Sharma, and more attempt to answer this question. These all-new stories range from traditional to modern, from mainstream to literary, from familiar monsters to the unknown . . . and unimaginable.

This chilling collection has something to please—and terrify—everyone, so lock your doors, hide under your covers, and try not to scream.

Goodreads review by Josh on October 23, 2007

This is full of some incredible ghost stories. It is dedicated solely to ghost stories, not slashers, not blood and guts, but eerie ghost stories. One of my favorites, One thing about the Night by Terry Dowling, takes place in a psychomantium, indeed has filled me with a desire to visit a quality psy......more
