There are seventeen stories in this book. They are branded "horror" by nature of our title and cover. But it's not all fear and loathing. Many of these works are genuinely terrifying, but some darkly humorous, some intriguingly atmospheric, and one, at least, imbued with a sense of cosmological mystery. The thrills continue with seventeen more outstanding tales by Rick Hautala, Nancy Baker, Tanya Huff, Stephanie Bedwell-Grime, Mel D Ames, Carolyn Clink, Sean Doolittle, Nancy Kilpatrick, Rudy Kremberg, David Nickle, James Powell, Micael Rowe, Peter Sellers, David Shtogryn, Tia Travis, Edo van Belkom, Chris Wiggins and Robert Charles Wilson.
