As a published writer of horror stories myself, and as a lifelong fan of the Pan and Fontana Books of Horror, I am certainly looking forward to the release of this book. Love the cover.
It is about time publishers started releasing more collections of horror fiction again, as in recent years there has been a sorry scarcity of such volumes on the book shelves.
