Dark Stars: New Tales of Darkest Horror

"A perfect snapshot of modern horror fiction . . . Dark Stars is to this generation what Kirby McCauley's seminal Dark Forces was to mine." —Brian Keene, Bram Stoker Award–winning author of The Rising Within these pages you'll find tales of dead men walking, an insidious secret summer fling, an island harboring unspeakable power, and a dark hallway that beckons. You'll encounter terrible monsters—both human and supernatural—and be forever changed. The stories in Dark Stars run the gamut from traditional to modern, from dark fantasy to neo-noir, from explorations of beloved horror tropes to the unknown—possibly unknowable—threats. Dark Stars features all-new stories from the following award-winning authors and up-and-coming voices: Chesya Burke, Ramsey Campbell, Gemma Files, Stephen Graham Jones, Alma Katsu, Caroline Kepnes, John Langan, Livia Llewellyn, Josh Malerman, Usman T. Malik, Priya Sharma, and John F.D. Taff. Created as an homage to the 1980 classic horror anthology Dark Forces, edited by Kirby McCauley, Dark Stars features an afterword from original contributor Ramsey Campbell—a poignant finale to this bone-chilling collection. "A fabulous collection of heady, inventive, and scary-as-hell novelettes written by many of my favorite horror writers. They'll become your favorites too, if they aren't already." —Paul Tremblay, Bram Stoker Award–winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts "[A] gripping, thought-provoking collection." —Indrapramit Das, LAMBDA Literary Award-winning author of The Devourers
