DARKNESS
Two Decades Of Modern Horror
"This diverse 25-story anthology is a superb sampling of some of the most significant short horror works published between 1985 and 2005. Editor extraordinaire Datlow (Poe) includes classic stories from horror icons Clive Barker, Peter Straub, and Stephen King as well as SF and fantasy luminaries Gene Wolfe, Dan Simmons, Neil Gaiman, and Lucius Shepard. The full diversity of horror is on display: George R.R. Martin's The Pear-Shaped Man, about a creepy downstairs neighbor, and Straub's The Juniper Tree, which chronicles a drifter's sexual molestation of a young boy, exemplify horror's sublime psychological power, while Barker's Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament and Poppy Z. Brite's Calcutta, Lord of Nerves are audaciously gory masterworks. This is an anthology to be cherished and an invaluable reference for horror aficionados." - PW, starred review
