For the whole review: https://www.publishersweekly.com/9781597809832
For more than three decades, Ellen Datlow has been at the center of horror. Bringing you the most frightening and terrifying stories, Datlow always has her finger on the pulse of what horror readers crave. In this anniversary edition, Datlow brings back her favorite stories of the series’ last decade in a special edition encompassing highlights from each edition of the work.
Encompassed in the pages of The Best Horror of the Year have been such illustrious writers as:
- Neil Gaiman
- Kim Stanley Robinson
- Stephen King
- Linda Nagata
- Laird Barron
- Margo Lanagan
- And many others
With each passing year, science, technology, and the march of time shine light into the craggy corners of the universe, making the fears of an earlier generation seem quaint. But this light creates its own shadows. The Best Horror of the Year chronicles these shifting shadows. It is a catalog of terror, fear, and unpleasantness as articulated by today’s most challenging and exciting writers. And in this anniversary edition, we share the most important stories which have been covered in the last decade of horror writing.

Call For Submissions -THE BEST HORROR OF THE YEAR volume Eleven
Call for Submissions
I am editing the anthology series Best Horror of the Year (Night Shade Books) and am currently reading for the tenth volume, covering material published in 2018.
I am looking for stories and poetry from all branches of horror: traditional-supernatural to the borderline, including high-tech sf horror, supernatural stories, psychological horror, dark crime, or anything else that might qualify. This is reprint, so I’m only reading material published in or about to be published in 2018. Deadline is December 15th 2018. Authors should check that their publishers are sending review copies to me as I only request them once. If a book or magazine is coming out after the deadline, I’ll look at galleys or manuscripts.
I will look at e-versions of anthologies and collections if they are navigable and have running heads. Otherwise, I will not read them. I always prefer print, if your book is available that way.
You can query as to whether I have your collection or an anthology/magazine in which you have a story at datlow@yahoo.com
There is a summation of “the year in horror” in the front of the volume. This includes novels, nonfiction, poetry, art books, and “odds and ends”– material that doesn’t fit elsewhere but that might interest horror readers. But I must be aware of this material in order to mention it.

****I regularly read many magazines/webzines that publish horror (Black Static, Dark Discoveries, Cemetery Dance, F&SF, The Dark, Nightmare, and crime digests, etc) and I receive many anthologies and single author collections.
Again, ask your publisher to send me the magazine or book. For online publications, email individual files, mentioning on the ms where the story has been published.
If I choose a story you will be informed. For confirmation that I‘ve received something, enclose a self-addressed-stamped postcard and I will let you know the date it arrived.
thank you
