Dark Stars<\/i>, edited by John F.D. Taff, is a tribute to horror\u2019s longstanding short fiction legacy, featuring 12 terrifying original stories from today's most noteworthy authors, with an introduction by bestselling author Josh Malerman and an afterword by Ramsey Campbell.<\/b><\/p>\n

Created as an homage to the 1980 classic horror anthology, Dark Forces<\/i>, edited by Kirby McCauley, this collection contains 12 original novelettes showcasing today\u2019s top horror talent. Dark Stars<\/i> features all-new stories from award-winning authors and up-and-coming voices like Stephen Graham Jones, Priya Sharma, Usman T. Malik, Caroline Kepnes, and Alma Katsu, with seasoned author John F.D. Taff at the helm. An afterword from original Dark Forces<\/i> contributor Ramsey Campbell is a poignant finale to this bone-chilling collection.<\/p>\n

Within these pages you\u2019ll find tales of dead men walking, an insidious secret summer fling, an island harboring unspeakable power, and a dark hallway that beckons. You\u2019ll encounter terrible monsters\u2014both human and supernatural\u2014and be forever changed. The stories in Dark Stars<\/i> run the gamut from traditional to modern, from dark fantasy to neo-noir, from explorations of beloved horror tropes to the unknown\u2014possibly unknowable\u2014threats.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all in here because it\u2019s all out there, now, in horror.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>
