Read The Year's Best Horror Stories 9 Storyline:

Continuing the tradition of selecting the finest gooseflesh stories of the last year, DAW's annual anthology is unique. This year, as last year, the selection has again been made by the master of the terror tale, Karl Edward Wagner. Some comments from reviews of his previous volume are quoted:"The tales are of uniformly high quality. A first choice for fear."—Kliatt"An admirably compact and economical way of achieving an overview of contemporary horror fiction. It includes occult, supernatural, and what might be called realistic horror. The average quality of the stories is high . . ."—A.L.A. Booklist"Meaty, taut, and crackling with nervous energy."—Los Angeles Times"When the editor is Karl Edward Wagner you can be sure that the net is cast wide . . . Good, solid, well-crafted—you can apply all the adjectives that Karl's writing attracts to his anthology. Don't miss it."—British Fantasy Society Bulletin"Each story is a classic case of horror, guaranteed to give shivers and make you lose sleep."—Spaceship PRK, Orlando, Florida
