Quote of the Day
Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.

PhobicModern Horror StoriesEdited by Andy Murray
Categories: 21st Century, Anthologies, BAME, British
Imprint: Comma Press Publisher: Comma Press Available as:
Featuring
Ramsey Campbell, Hanif Kureishi, Jeremy Dyson, Matthew Holness, Frank Cottrell Boyce, Robert Shearman, Chaz Brenchley, Paul Cornell, Christine Poulson, Nicholas Royle, Paul Magrs, Conrad Williams, Emma Unsworth, Lavinia Murray, and Maria Roberts Where does fear lurk in 21st century life? In a technological age hardwired to keep information flowing and the unknown at bay, what irrationalities still linger for horror writers to tap into? This anthology, the first in a new series from Comma, offers 15 very different responses to the question. From ancient curses kept alive in internet chat-rooms to malevolent children's TV characters acquiring lives of their own, Phobic shines a torch into the unlit areas of the modern subconscious and suggests the more we know, the more we realise how worried we really should be. 'A stunning collection that could give you goosebumps even in the height of summer.' - Leeds Guide 'A rewarding anthology.' - The Guardian 'An effective collection.' -The Independent on Sunday
