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.Contents:Undertow by Karl Edward Wagner.Ever the Faith Endures by Manly Wade Wellman.Winter White by Tanith Lee.At the Bottom of the Garden by David Campton.Screaming to Get Out by Janet Fox.I Can Hear the Dark by Dennis Etchison.The Horse Lord by Lisa Tuttle.A Cobweb of Pulsing Veins by William Scott Home.Best of Luck by David Drake.Children of the Corn by Stephen King.If Damon Comes by Charles L.
