Gary Braunbeck would have been enough for me to buy it. However, when I finally got around to reading this book, I didn’t even bother with King’s “Stationary Bike” because I had read it before in another of his solo collections a few years ago-that’s how long this one sat on my shelf-but considering the other talent in these pages, this was definitely money well spent. I originally picked up this collection for the same reason I’m sure most of the people who bought it did: Stephen King’s name on the cover, promising “a new novella”. These stories are so far removed from what I was then-and probably am now-capable of, it’s sad. Now, having read the FROM THE BORDERLANDS paperback anthology, originally published as BORDERLANDS 5, I see just how far off the mark I was. I can’t tell you how many times I submitted to this thing, and never once made it. For me, one of those publications was always the BORDERLANDS anthology, edited by Elizabeth E.
The list consisted of those top few magazines or anthologies they submitted to on a regular basis, just praying for their shot at “the big time”. I’m sure almost all writers out there-at least, those who were writing in the 1990s and the earlier part of the 2000s-can tell you they had their list. Schow -Īround it still the sumac grows / Tom Piccirilli. The thing too hideous to describe / David J. Story time with the BlueField strangler / John Farris -įather Bob and Bobby / Whitley Strieber. The growth of Alan Ashley / Bill Gauthier. From fantastic supernatural terrors to the very real horrors waiting outside your own front door, these stories expand the boundaries of fear and madness.įaith will make you free / Holly Newstein.
Shocking and cutting edge, these tales of doom, depravity, and menace will chill your blood and haunt your soul. Now in an indispensable new collection, they present twenty-five all-original tales of terror by today's acclaimed masters and the best new voices in horror fiction, including: Monteleone have reapeatedly transformed teh landscape of the modern horror story with their acclaimed Borderlands anthologies.
