The Year's Best Horror Stories: Series VI

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Excellent reviews greeted Gerald Page's previous selections of the best weird and horror stories of the year... and similar acclaim is sure to greet this latest volume. For undoubtedly this is the best one thus far, with thirteen tales that range the scale of terror from tingles in the spine to hair-raising nightmare-makers.

Among the authors represented here are bestsellers like Stephen King of 'Salem's Lot and The Shining, prize-winners like Charles L. Grant of Nebula honor, new masters like Michael Bishop of Beneath the Shattered Moons, and Tanith Lee of The Birthgrave and The Storm Lord. There are the old masters such as Manly Wade Wellman and Ramsey Campbell. Add the skills of Lisa Tuttle, Janet Fox, David Drake and others, and you can be sure that once again The Year's Best Horror Stories will gain the sort of praise it has had before.
