The Year's Best Horror Stories

The Year's Best Horror Stories | Richard Davis

pick

(1975) This has some great stories like Harlan Ellison's "Whimper of Whipped Dogs" and Ramsey Campbell's "The Man In the Underpass," but also a couple misfires like Steve Chapman's "Burger Creature," a sort of gonzo romance in which the male lead is literally animated ground beef. I understand Chapman expanded it into a novel, on which I'll pass. Anyway: how about that Michael Whelan cover?

Erofan Great cover 👍 5y

The Year's Best Horror Stories | Richard Davis

Got the horror authors list done 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! By no means exhaustive, and it's the broad overall genre, but these ones are among the most recognized that every library should probably carry. What do you think? 😊 #LitsyLovesLibraries

kricheal One tiny edit! You have Ann Rice instead of Anne Rice. 😶 6y

MrBook @kricheal Thank you! Yeah, I corrected it after I saw the error after putting it on my desk afterward. 🤦🏼‍♂️ (edited) 6y

BookwormAHN What about R. L. Stine or would that be more YA 🤔 6y

bitterbear I didn't really dig little heaven though... 6y

Reggie @bitterbear yeah, that first half of Little Heaven was so painful to get through. He ended up doing his Nick Cutter thing on the back half but I almost bailed getting there. 6y

Reggie I think Ania Ahlborn and John Langan should be on here. 6y

bitterbear @Reggie I bailed 20 pages in... Seemed cheesy. 6y

bitterbear @Reggie I haven't read langan but I read ahlborn.. She's OK. This was just okay...
