Another striking volume from the doyen of horror editors, this collection, illustrated by none other than Clive Barker, imagines a Library of the Damned and the all-new stories from some of the best talents in the field follow its imaginary lexicon of words and situations to present a gamut of fear and somber wonders guaranteed to scare and make reading after dark the right shade of worrisome. Includes sterling tales from Barker himself, Michael Marshall Smith, Lisa Tuttle, Joanne Harris, Kim Newman, Muriel Gray, Pat Cadigan, Ramsey Campbell and many others, all demonstrating how horror writing can be both entertaining and challenging and miles away from the perceived notion of obligatory gore and blood and guts and how a dimension of sheer dread can be unveiled with subtlety and no need for a sledgehammer (or a saw...). ~ Maxim Jakubowski
