Add your own review!

Overview

Several of the best modern horror writers are brought together in this collection of new stories that are all revivals of classic dark tales. From sequels and prequels to retellings and homages, these pieces continually elude expectations and are full of surprising twists and turns. The literary endeavors include Gay Terry, Carol Emshwiller, and Don Webb each tackling some of H. P. Lovecraft's writings from alternative points of view, the graphic artist Martos illustrating what becomes of the painting of Dorian Gray after the death of its subject, and Paul di Filippo riffing on Dylan Thomas's ghost story The Followers. Embracing and expanding upon themes explored in classic horror, this anthology injects a new dose of dread into the genre.
