Customer Reviews

Never a misstep with these two

I have read probably 10 of the books in this series; edited by these two women. They know what they are doing, and on both the horror and fantasy sides they deliver quality fiction from outstanding writers. And, they always throw in a new writer or two and it is great to see them give these people a shot. I REALLY enjoy their recommendations (or Honorable Mentions) for the stories that didn't make it. It give me a solid start on what to search for next. You cannot go wrong with this excellent series.
