Mark Morris curates a compelling collection that highlights the breadth of contemporary horror through twenty original stories. The volume successfully showcases the versatility of modern writers by blending dark mysticism, strange entities, and psychological unease into distinct narratives. Its strength lies in its refusal to limit itself to one specific style or period, offering instead a rich tapestry of supernatural fiction.

While it may not suit those preferring unified plots or specific subgenres like traditional gothic romance, it serves as an excellent introduction to the evolving landscape of horror literature.
