Winner - 2019 Shirley Jackson Award for Best Anthology. Nominated for the 2019 Bram Stoker Award for Best Anthology Presenting an all-new horror anthology that shatters the mold... Mainstream publishers want all-star lineups. Small press publishers often can't afford to pay pro rates...and even when they can, the names in the table of contents can be limited by the editor's reach or effort. Bestselling horror, fantasy, and thriller authors Christopher Golden and James A. Moore knew there had to be a better way. Inspired by the efforts of legendary anthology Charles L. Grant, who helped move so many new writers in the horror community's conversation, Golden and Moore teamed up with Haverhill House's Twisted Publishing imprint to create... THE TWISTED BOOK OF SHADOWS Determined to pay pro rates, the editors crowdfunded the project, and then put the word out as far and wide as possible, loudly and repeatedly encouraging submissions by diverse voices, and recruiting a stellar editorial committee to read along with them, including Linda A. Addison, Nadia Bulkin, Rachel Autumn Deering, Lamar Giles, KL Pereira, and Lee Thomas. Out of seven hundred stories received through a blind submission process-none of the editors had any idea who the authors were-nineteen made the final cut. Within these pages you will find the beautifully weird side-by-side with terrifying nightmares, horrifying folklore, and hellish futures. Nineteen unique and haunting tales that truly earned their place in a book entitled... THE TWISTED BOOK OF SHADOWS Discover your new favorite horror stories by: Melissa Swensen -- M.M. De Voe -- Andrew Bourelle -- Sara Tantlinger -- Jeffrey B. Burton Eóin Murphy -- Sarah L. Johnson -- Jason A. Wyckoff -- Amanda Helms -- Trisha J. Wooldridge Liam Hogan -- KT Wagner -- Rohit Sawant -- P.D. Cacek -- John Linwood Grant George Edwards Murray -- Cindy O'Quinn -- David Surface -- Kristi DeMeester THE TWISTED BOOK OF SHADOWS

The Twisted Book of Shadows ed. by Christopher Golden & James A. Moore was one of the best anthologies in recent memory. I found just about every story to be interesting with a well executed plot line. Almost all of the authors were new to me, which was a pleasant surprise in an anthology of such high quality. There were several memorable stories throughout the book, with my favorites being 'Midnight Sun' by Andrew Bourelle (an interesting take on the classic werewolf story), 'Liza' by Jeffrey Burton (is it a dog? Or is it something else?) and 'The Birthing Pool' by Eoin Murphy (sacrificial cult ceremony with Lovecraftian overtones). Highly recommended for fans of short horror fiction.

The talent assembled here is second to none, and for sure, one of the highlights goes to Cindy O'Quinn's "Lydia"! Recommended for sure.
-
Some of the first pages in this book are falling out. Haven't even had a chance to read it yet. Will keep it, but somebody needs to check quality control on the printing!
