The Best Horror of the Year. Volume 6

Начало книги

I’d like to thank Kris Dikeman for being my first reader. I’d like to thank Charles Tan for introducing me to so many exciting books and writers from the Philippines, as well as Steve Berman and Dave Truesdale for recommendations.

I’d like to acknowledge Locus, British Fantasy Society Journal for their invaluable information and descriptions of material I was unable to obtain. Thanks to the editors who made sure I saw your magazines during the year, the webzine editors who provided printouts and efiles, and the book publishers who provided review copies in a timely manner. Also, the writers who sent me printouts of your stories when I was unable to acquire the magazine or book in which they appeared.

Thanks to Merrilee Heifetz and Sarah Nagel at Writers House.

And thank you to my in-house editor Jason Katzman, for his patience.

First, here are some numbers: There are twenty-three stories and one poem included this year. They were chosen from magazines, webzines, anthologies, single author collections, chapbooks, and a newspaper. Five of the stories were originally published by Black Static. Twelve of the stories are by writers living in England, Ireland, and Wales — the first time that’s ever happened. In addition, there are two stories written by writers living in Canada and eight by writers living in the United States.
