Fears

"For decades, Ellen Datlow has set the bar. One of the most influential editors in the history of genre fiction, the gold standard of anthologists, and the ultimate tastemaker for horror stories. Datlow's career and reputation are entirely unique--there's only one Ellen."
--Christopher Golden, author of Ararat

"Ellen Datlow has long ago earned her place as the premier anthologist of fantasy and horror. Appearing in one of her unique volumes is recognized as a significant honor, and Fears: Tales of Psychological Horror is no different."
--Joe R. Lansdale, author of In the Mad Mountains

"Ellen Datlow has a supernatural talent for assembling fantastic stories into must-read anthologies, and Fears is another extraordinary example of that talent. There are no ghosts here, no monsters. Just some of the most terrifying people you're likely to meet. Fears is filled with deeply unsettling stories of psychological horror that will continue to haunt you long after the book is closed."
--Josh Rountree, author of The Legend of Charlie Fish

"Ellen Datlow has expertly gathered stories that surprise by enticing us down one path and then morph, unexpectedly, into a deeper level of anxiety and dread. Here we discover the most creative creatures of terror are human beings, who wear masks of normality to hide monstrous desires and actions. Each author skillfully finds different ways to lead us one step deeper into their flavor of mental, emotional, psychological horror."
--Linda D. Addison, author of How to Recognize a Demon Has Become Your Friend

"Ellen Datlow, literature's mistress of darkness, has an unflinching eye for the glorious and the grotesque and an unerring ear for the voices that define and illuminate our genre. With Fears, the latest addition to her already remarkable bibliography, she proves yet again that she is one of the premier anthologists of her--or any other--generation."
--Pete Atkins, author of Hellraiser: Bloodline
