Darkness: Two Decades of Modern Horror (Short stories)

See all formats and editions

Compiling the finest in frightening tales, this unique anthology offers a diverse selection of horror culled from the last 25 years.

Hand selected from cutting-edge authors, each work blends subtle psychology and mischievousness with disturbingly visceral imagery.

In the classic "Chattery Teeth," Stephen King provides a tautly drawn account of a traveling salesman who unwisely picks up yet another hitchhiker, while in Peter Straub's eerie "The Juniper Tree," a man whose nostalgia for the movies of his childhood leads to his stolen innocence.

Renowned fantasy author George R. R. Martin weaves a sinister yarn about a young woman encountering a neighbor who is overly enamored with her in "The Pear-Shaped Man." Combining acclaimed masters of the macabre, such as Clive Barker, Poppy Z.

Brite, and Thomas Ligotti, with bold new talents to the genre, including Kelly Link, Neil Gaiman, and Stephen King's son, Joe Hill, this distinctive collection of stories will delight and terrify.
