The stories in this collection feel both classic and innovative, while never losing the primary ingredient of great horror writing: fear." -The New York Times "A survey of some of the best horror writing of the last decade. . . . highly recommended for anyone interested in contemporary horror and dark fantasy, as well as anyone looking for a collection of some of the best and most horrifying short fiction currently available." -Booklist(starred review) "A stunning and flawless collection that showcases the most terrifyingly beautiful writing of the genre. Datlow's palate for the fearful and the chilling knows no genre constraint, encompassing the undead, the supernatural, and the cruelty perpetrated by ordinary humans. Exciting, literary, and utterly scary, this anthology is nothing short of exceptional." -Publishers Weekly(starred review) "A decade of celebrating the darkest gems of the genre as selected by Hugo-winning editor Ellen Datlow, whose name, by this point, is almost synonymous with quality frights . . . [and] contributed by a murderer's row of horror authors. . . . Essential." -B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog, "Our Favorite Science Fiction & Fantasy Books of 2018" "With the quality ranging from very good, to fantastic, to sublime, there just isn't the space to discuss them all.... If I need to make a pronouncement?based on Datlow's fantastic distillation of the genre?it's that horror is alive, well, and still getting under people's skin. If you have even a vague interest in dark fiction, then pick up this book." -Ian Mond, Locus "Datlow's survey of the first decade of her Best Horror of the Year series is also an argument about the field's major talents and trends. Its contents make a compelling case for the robustness of the field, a condition Dat-low herself has done much to nourish."-Locus, "Horror in 2018" by John Langan Praise for Ellen Datlow and The Best Horror of the Year Series: "Award-winning editor Ellen Datlow has assembled a tasty collection of twenty one terrifying and unsettling treats.
