Not only is this the largest anthology of original horror/suspense fiction of all time - not one story in 999 has ever been published before - but it is also the finest. But together, these weirdest of tales join to form a great literary mosaic, a vivid contemporary portrait of a genre which is proud, potent, and irresistible. There is even an eerily echoing chuckle or two found inside. Some will haunt you long after you finish reading them. Some of these stories will startle you or fill you with terror. As you will read the twenty-nine contributors responded by displaying the infinite variety which is the very hallmark of this field. To prepare this groundbreaking anthology, writer and editor Al Sarrantonio challenged a distinguished roster of authors to demonstrate with all-new stories the shape of horror/suspense literature as we enter the twenty-first century. Your hold in your hands the state of the art - of fear. But where does this age-old tradition stand at the cusp of a new decade, a new century, a new millennium? This mammoth volume seeks to answer that question. The weaving of fictional suspense and terror is as ancient as humankind itself.
