Nightmares: A New Decade of Modern Horror | Ellen Datlow
17 posts | 4 read | 11 to read
From the most acclaimed horror editor in the business comes the most groundbreaking horror of the new millennium. InNightmares, editor extraordinaire Datlow has skillfully reprised her classic anthologyDarkness: Two Decades of Modern Horror. Here you will find iconic authors mingling with unexpected new masters of terror. These tales represent the finest stories of s new era, in which evil both everyday and unfathomable will simplynot go away. In "Ambitious Boys Like You," two inexperienced thieves discover a a residence which makes Home Alone seem like a playground romp. The question of "Is She Wicked? Is She Good?," is asked by concerned parents whose cruel child courts fairy revenge. The "Ash Mouth Man" may be just a legend to girls who wish to waste away - but is he only worth just one kiss?

Taking a break from reading during the #24B4Monday to watch a scary movie with @anewton91 called Nightmare Shark. Honestly, Jaws had a better shark and theirs was SSOO fake...

Fun with filters and effects to hide my almost finished #horrorpost book! I'm having a double snow day hangover so I'm taking the next half hour to myself before I start errands. #NightmaresAhead @teebe @Captivatedbybooks @Bengali.bookworm @laundry_piles @MiyakoBunny @Ashley_Nicoletto @TricksyTails @Sid2 @JenlovesJT47 @Kappadeemom @ptkpepe98

How's everyone doing on their #horrorpost selections? I'm going to mail mine out a bit early, @Captivatedbybooks, because we're going on vacation so I don't want to make you wait. I'm not sure I'll finish but I'm working on it this weekend! Winter break from school KILLED me! 😂

JenlovesJT47 I finally got mine yesterday (the post office lost the first package for three weeks so she had to resend it) - I've got two months' worth to read and I'm looking forward to it! 😱 6y
IamIamIam @JenlovesJT47 I saw you guys had some issues! 😔 Maybe you can take solace in the fact that the book in your package was SO AWESOME, someone had to steal it! 😂😂 Good luck!!! 6y
Ashley_Nicoletto I'll most likely finish up mine this weekend and mail it on. 🎉🎉🎉 6y

Bengali.bookworm @IamIamIam - Score!!!!! Now I won't be rushing lol! 6y
ptkpepe98 I don't know if I missed a post. Did @Sid2 leave the #NightmaresAhead group? I know he sends "my" book, and I just noticed he wasn't in the post. I am looking forward to receiving whatever the next one is, and I sure hope it is as good as the last one 6y
IamIamIam @ptkpepe98 Not that I know of. It's just user error. 🤣 Sorry, @sid2!!! 6y
TricksyTails I haven‘t started mine yet! 🙈 6y
laundry_piles I just started mine the other day! Hoping to finish it this week so I can pass it on 😊 6y

@Kappadeemom - Book 2 will go in the walk it to you mail Monday. I guess that's what they do with it!

It was a good one! I enjoyed it. Hopefully you will, too.

@teebe @TricksyTails @laundry_piles @Bengali.bookworm @IamIamIam @Captivatedbybooks @Sid2 @JenlovesJT47 @Ashley_Nicoletto @MiyakoBunny

It's SO hard not to "talk" about the book! Do y'all have that problem, too? Or is it just me?

MiyakoBunny I feel you 🙃😄😄😄👋🏼 6y
ptkpepe98 @MiyakoBunny ... I guess that's what the journals are for....📖✍️ 6y
Kappadeemom Sigh, @JenlovesJT47 still hasn‘t received my first book. I sent it a week and a half ago and she lives 3 hours away 🤨 6y

JenlovesJT47 @Kappadeemom hopefully I get it on Monday! My mail has been weird lately. What date are we supposed to mail the next book by? 6y
Kappadeemom I am not sure but I think by the end of each month 6y
ptkpepe98 That's crazy, but I guess the media mail rates fall into the "you get what you pay for" category. Maybe they make it on the truck if there is room left? That's all I think makes sense. 6y

Dark dark dark, and spanning a wide range of horror sub-genre from dark fantasy to the supernatural to psychological to atlases from hell. My favorites included the stories from Laird Barron, Caitlin Kiernan, Nathan Ballingrud, and Mary Rickert.

Not for everyone okay my littens? Dark, dark dark.

ReadingEnvy @BookishMarginalia @HardcoverHearts @Zelma haha... I've been actively reading horror because I'm so unfamiliar, so these anthologies are great for that, but phew! Definitely can give myself a break now. 7y
ReadingEnvy @WordWaller @NovelGirl82 I'd love to hear what you think. 7y

Took me an age of the earth to get through this one, alternating between slowly reading and writing HUGE amounts. Excellent book, though. Ellen Datlow can do no wrong.

It's a long day today at Hippocamp. Hiding in a corner for the half hour I have before the next session to read and recharge.

I'm about halfway through and this anthology from Ellen Datlow and Tachyon Publications is fantastic and addictive, as all hers are. I have other books I thought I'd read first, but this one just took over
