Dark Delicacies II: Fear

To be able to fill an anthology with original horror tales by some of the greatest names in terror fiction is a dream come true. Bram Stoker Award-winning editors Jeff Gelb and Del Howison are living that dream... or is it nightmare?

Following the first award-winning book of the series, the editors have gathered the finest horror authors from around the country, including bestselling authors James Sallis, Joe R. Lansdale, Max Brooks, Steve Niles, and Caitlin R. Kiernan.

18 original tales of carefully crafted macabre will keep you up at night. Plus there is an introduction by the late great Ray Harryhausen who, when speaking of editors Gelb and Howison, claims, “Horror is their thing and it is what they do best.”

Get ready to settle in with Dark Delicacies II: Fear. It’s time for the second course!
