Dark Delicacies: Bk. 2

"Indispensable for both horror fans and, of course, Dark Delicacies' patrons." "Features contributions by...distinguished writers in the genre...The twenty original stories commissioned especially for this collection revel in the macabre...Libraries with a strong horror following should add this dark gem to their collections." "A new anthology that can be described only as horrifying...veteran fans...should find this collection sufficiently repulsive, spooky, and chilling...most (of the stories) are vividly conveyed narratives of terror, bloodletting, and grisly death. Some even inject a bit of twisted humor into their nightmares." "If, as Howison writes in his afterword, 'Horror has always been the blues of literature', then this anthology of 20 new tales of the macabre is an all-star concert whose performers work haunting riffs on gutbucket themes...Howison, the proprietor of Burbank, Calif.'s Dark Delicacies horror bookstore, and Gelb, coeditor of the Hot Blood anthology series, have plundered their Rolodexes to recruit a formidable lineup of horror's top creative talents."
