New Fears

Winner of the British Fantasy Society Award for “Best Anthology”

An electrifying horror anthology featuring 19 stories by award-winning heavyweights of the genre—including Bird Box author Josh Malerman and Ramsey Campbell

The horror genre’s greatest living practitioners drag our darkest fears, kicking and screaming, into the light . . . In “The Boggle Hole” by Alison Littlewood, an ancient folk tale leads to irrevocable loss. In Josh Malerman’s “The House of the Head”—also seen Shudder’s Creepshow horror series—a dollhouse becomes the focus for an incident both violent and inexplicable. And in “Speaking Still”, Ramsey Campbell suggests that beyond death there may be far worse things waiting than we can ever imagine . . .
 
Numinous, surreal and gut-wrenching, New Fears is a vibrant collection showcasing the very best fiction modern horror has to offer.“An unusually powerful slate of stories that hopefully signal the start of a brand-new trend in horror fiction.”
—Barnes & Noble SFF blog

“The popularity of shows like Black Mirror may be a sign that the world is indeed craving more collections of short-form fictions. If so, New Fears is well poised to be a leader of the trend.”
—Portland Book Review

“If you watch horror movies at all, it seems like everything has been done to death. Haunted dolls, monsters, strangers infiltrating your life . . . It’s all been done before. And then you read a collection like New Fears, and you realize there are still plenty of untapped depths of spooks and scares awaiting you, if you know where to look.”
