A dozen bone-chilling tales by modern masters
All-new stories from some of the best talents in the field . . . all demonstrating how horror writing can be both entertaining and challenging
A thing of beauty . . . a celebration of all things horror . . . a cohesive view into contemporary horror literature
Stephen Jones knows horror . . . he's become one of the best guides to its shifting landscape
A whole heap of talent within . . . you'll enjoy this fearful experience
Stephen Jones is one of the most reliable figures in horror literature today. Jones' involvement in a project is almost a guarantee that the project is going to be worth your time.
Brings together some of the more diverse voice from the horror writing community . . .a highly readable and accessible collection of spooky stories that will stay with the reader for days . . . Horrorology is the book to give the horror fan in your life . . . it's simply that good. 9/10
One of the finest horror editors in the world. What makes this selection of stories particularly enticing is that, while all are unique and engaging, they still manage to offer that coalescence that one looks for when reading an anthology
Collection of superior horror stories . . . and the best stories are among the finest of those I have read recently
For those who enjoy the more eerie, thoughtful and developed horror stories over usual gory, messy and shocking style . . . some remarkable stories . . . I was both impressed and overwhelmed by the depth of content here
Stephen Jones safeguards and protects our fictions
I probably wouldn't have any kind of career at all without Stephen Jones
Twelve words. Twelve stories. One grimoire of horror that's well worth cracking open
