Created as an homage to the 1980 classic horror anthology, Dark Forces, this collection showcases today's top horror talent edited by John F.D. Taff.
Within these pages you'll find tales of dead men walking, an insidious secret summer fling, an island harbouring unspeakable power, and a dark hallway that beckons. You'll encounter terrible monsters-both human and supernatural-and be forever changed. These stories 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.

I love collections of short stories and have a particular fondness for horror fiction. So I snapped up this book. There are some familiar authors here such as John Malerman and Stephen Graham Jones and a smattering of new ones. I enjoyed all of the stories in this collection. I liked the diversity and range on offer with no two being the same. I'd recommend this.
