The Year's Best Horror Stories XV

The Year's Best Horror Stories XV

John Alfred Taylor
3.7/5 ( ratings)
The secret of fear. They lurk in the shadows, preying upon humans, body and soul, haunting both waking and dreaming hours, leading the unwary down deceptive, twisting pathways to the very home and heart of evil. They are the creations of this year's masters at the fine art of terror, unforgettable tales that will have you starting at the slightest sound, and glancing over your shoulder, fervently hoping to find nothing there. Once again, Karl Edward Wagner has courageously prowled the dark alleyways of fright fiction to bring to you truest chillers of the year.

From a Halloween haunting even spooks would fear to attend... to a young glamour girl who learns too late just how 'draining' stardom can really be... to a relic of the past which reveals almost too much about the future, here are eighteen compelling excursions into the many realms of horror by today's newest talents and such top tale-weavers as Robert Bloch, Joe R. Lansdale, Ramsey Campbell, Charles L. Grant, and Dennis Etchison.
