Several of the best modern horror writers are brought together in this collection of new stories that are all revivals of classic dark tales. From sequels and prequels to retellings and homages, these pieces continually elude expectations and are full of surprising twists and turns. The literary endeavors include Gay Terry, Carol Emshwiller, and Don Webb each tackling some of H. P. Lovecraft’s writings from alternative points of view, the graphic artist Martos illustrating what becomes of the painting of Dorian Gray after the death of its subject, and Paul di Filippo riffing on Dylan Thomas’s ghost story “The Followers.” Embracing and expanding upon themes explored in classic horror, this anthology injects a new dose of dread into the genre.

Industry Reviews

"Ortiz does the same meticulous job he did in his previous books on artists Ed Emshwiller and Lee Brown Coye." -- Publishers Weekly " The Monkey's Other Paw [...] offers stories in which 13 contemporary writers re-imagine or pay tribute to the work of various classic horror authors. Don Webb's 'he Doom That Came to Devil's Reef'opens quietly: 'mong Lovecraft's papers at Brown University was a large manila envelope containing ...'and then reveals what may be the true origins of 'he Shadow Over Innsmouth.'Scott Edelman's ' Most Extraordinary Man'neatly imagines a sequel to Saki's most famous and witty shocker, 'he Open Window.'Set against the loneliness of New York City, and in homage to Dylan Thomas's 'he Followers,'Paul Di Filippo's 'hostless'focuses on a spectral matchmaking service for ghosts and mortals." Michael Dirda, the Washington Post
