The Monstrous

From the best horror editor in the business comes the quintessential horror anthology: The Monstrous. Take a terrifying journey with literary masters of suspense, visiting a place where the other is somehow one of us. These electrifying tales redefine monsters from mere things that go bump-in-the-night to inexplicable, deadly reflections of our day-to-day lives. Whether it's a seemingly-devoted teacher, an obsessive devotee of swans, or a diner full of evil creatures simply seeking oblivion, the monstrous is always there — and much closer than it appears.Table of Contents"Introduction" Ellen Datlow“A Natural History of Autum” Jeffrey Ford“Ashputtle” Peter Straub“Giants in the Earth” Dale Bailey“The Beginning of the year Without a Summer” Catlín R.
