Short Stories
The Twisted Book of Shadows, edited by Christopher Golden and James A. Moore, is an anthology of weird tales with a decidedly different point of view. Seeking new voices, and new ideas, the editors instituted a blind screening process, reviewing several hundred submissions with no inkling of who they were reading. The result is a winning mix of 19 stories, with nary a King, Koontz, Barker, or other brand name in the mix, a solid tribute to the legendary editor who inspired it, Charles L. Grant of Shadows fame. Read it one tale per sitting, so as to savor its contents.
