The Weird: A Compendium of Dark and Strange Fictions


Just saw this in the tor.com newsletter. I think this going to be a must-buy. There are... wait for it....116 stories by an all-star cast of writers, including "Ben Okri and George R.R. Martin, Angela Carter and Kelly Link, Franz Kafka and China Miéville, Clive Barker and Haruki Murakami, M.R. James and Neil Gaiman, Mervyn Peake and Michael Chabon, Stephen King and Daphne Du Maurier."

The full contents page from MacMillan is here:

There's a great little blurb on the perils of compiling such a tome from the tor blog here:

Not yet, but I have a copy of Shriek: An Afterword sitting on the table. It looks right up my alley.

Ooer. Just realised what I wrote. That's one talented paperback.

Hehe. Too much british comedy as child :)
