Praise for The Monstrous [STAR] "Datlow, horror anthologist extraordinaire, brings together all things monstrous in this excellent reprint anthology of 20 horror stories that explore the ever-widening definition of what makes a monster, with nary a misstep. The varied sources of monstrosity include a very troubled kindergarten teacher, a catering company that puts humans on the menu, and spirit-devouring creatures out of Japanese mythology, all creating distinctive microcosms where monsters reign in many forms. In Gemma Files's "A Wish from a Bone," an archeological reality show filming in Sudan uncovers evidence of the Terrible Seven, ancient beings who are bent on destruction and domination. Adam-Troy Castro's "The Totals" skewers bureaucracy and the daily grind by populating a drinking hole with monsters, who create mayhem, commit murder, and kvetch with their deadly coworkers with the same sense of ennui felt by any office drone. Other standouts by Sofia Samatar, Dale Bailey, and Christopher Fowler round out this atmospheric and frequently terrifying collection. (Oct.) -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Datlow has more backed-up expertise and accumulated assets than almost any other horror/dark/weird editor in the business." -- TeleRead " The Monstrous is one of the best collections of stories I've read in recent years." -- The Book Lover's Boudoir "A must-have for every fan of horror. Highly recommended." -- Reclusive Reads " The Monstrous will chill and darken your day in a terrifyingly sweet way. When you begin to read it, you'll most likely have problems putting it down, because all of the stories are intriguing and they may cause a few moments of unease and distress to readers. Highly recommended!" -- Rising Shadows Praise for Darkness: Two Decades of Modern Horror "This is an anthology to be cherished and an invaluable reference for horror aficionados." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "I give my highest recommendation for this book." -- Hellnotes Praise for Lovecraft's Monsters "[An] amazing and diverse treasure trove of stories.

And that's a delight." -- January Magazine Praise for Hauntings "Apt to entertain and disquiet the horror fans." -- SF Site , Featured Review "Datlow once again proves herself as a master editor." -- Arkham Digest This is the best of the best--don't miss it!" -- The Tomb of Dark Delights Praise for The Cutting Room "Superstar editor Datlow makes no missteps in this reprint collection of dark tales involving movies and moviemaking." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review A Kirkus Excellent Horror Read for October "[A] tempting volume of stories from renowned editor Ellen Datlow" -- Kirkus "This collection of 23 stories should appeal to fans of horror and SF primarily, though noir and hard-boiled-mystery readers should feel welcome too. . . .
