A collection of the best horror stories of 1998 showcases the work of such award-winning authors as Peter Atkins, Kathe Koja, Chaz Brenchley, Stephen Laws, Kim Newman, Caitlin R. Kiernan, and Tanith... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The introduction alone is a treasure trove of information regarding the state of horror, and the new and developing projects of many authors and editors. Mr. Jones has collected some gems from the likes of Caitlin R. Kiernan, Neil Gaiman, Tanith Lee, Harlan Ellison, and Kim Newman...and that's just to start. Neil Gaiman's, The Wedding Present is a tidy little story with a rather sardonic ending. I enjoyed Peter Straub's, Mr. Clubb & Mr. Cuff too. Harlan Ellison's, Objects of Desire in the Mirror are Closer Than They Appear. I believe my absolute favorite is Avram Davidson & Grania Davis', The Boss in the Wall though. I can't think of one story that I didn't enjoy but those were, I thought, especially well done.
