Synopsis
Fear comes in many forms, and in this anthology
some of the genre's greatest living practitioners drag those 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' a dollhouse becomes the focus for an incident both violent and inexplicable. In 'The Abduction Door' by Christopher Golden a doting father is forced to confront his - and every parent's - worst nightmare. And in 'Speaking Still' Ramsey Campbell suggests that beyond death there may be far worse things waiting than we can ever imagine...

Benedict, Chaz Brenchley, Stephen Gallagher, Brady Golden, Muriel Gray, Carole Johnstone, Brian Keene, Stephen Laws, Brian Lillie, Sarah Lotz, Adam Nevill, Kathryn Ptacek, Angela Slatter and Conrad Williams, New Fears is a showcase of the very best fiction that the modern horror genre has to offer. By turns numinous, surreal and gut wrenching, there is something for every reader in this vibrant collection.
