For twenty years ''The Mammoth Book of Best New
Horror'' has been recognized as the world's foremost
annual showcase of horror and dark fantasy fiction. Now,
with one story from each year in which it has been
published, from 1989 to 2008, representing the work of
dozens of authors, many of them acknowledged as the
foremost practitioners of the genre, multi-award-winning
editor Stephen Jones looks back on two decades of superb
writing to bring readers the ultimate horror fiction
anthology. With names such as Ramsey Campbell,
Christopher Fowler, Neil Gaiman, Michael Marshall Smith,
Paul J. McAuley and Lisa Tuttle, this collection
represents a true landmark in horror fiction publishing.
