About this listen

For over three decades, Ellen Datlow has been at the center of horror. Bringing you the most frightening and terrifying stories, Datlow always has her finger on the pulse of what horror listeners crave. Now, with the eighth volume of the series, Datlow is back again to bring you the stories that will keep you up at night.

Encompassed in the audio of The Best Horror of the Year have been such illustrious writers as: Neil Gaiman; Kelley Armstrong; Stephen King; Linda Nagata; Laird Barron; Margo Lanagan; and many others.

With each passing year, science, technology, and the march of time shine light into the craggy corners of the universe, making the fears of an earlier generation seem quaint. But this light creates its own shadows. The Best Horror of the Year chronicles these shifting shadows. It is a catalog of terror, fear, and unpleasantness as articulated by today's most challenging and exciting writers.

It has its ups and downs when it comes to this collection. Some stories are amazing, others I could live without. It’s a mixed bag. They started strong and ended it with a good story.

This was an okay collection. “We Are All Monsters Here” by Kelley Armstrong and “Black Dog” by Neil Gaiman were the most enjoyable. A few others like “Snow” and “My Son Builds Coffins” were also pretty good.
