POE’S CHILDREN NEW HORROR ANTHOLOGY HC

edited by Peter Straub
Horror writing is usually associated with formulaic gore, but New Wave horror writers have more in common with the wildly inventive, evocative spookiness of Edgar Allan Poe than with the sometimes-predictable hallmarks of their peers. Showcasing this cutting-edge talent, Poe’s Children now brings the best of the genre’s stories to a wider audience. Featuring tales from such luminaries as Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Jonathan Carroll, Steve Rasnic Tem, and National Book Award finalist Dan Chaon, Poe’s Children is Peter Straub’s tribute to the imaginative power of storytelling.
