This review is from: Best Horror of the Year: Volume 2 (Paperback)
Containing*Lowland Sea by Suzy McKee Charnas The End of Everything by Steve Eller Mrs Midnight by Reggie Oliver *each thing i show you is a piece of my death by Gemma Files and Stephen J. Barringer *The Nimble Men by Glen Hirshberg *What Happens When You Wake Up in the Night by Michael Marshall Smith Wendigo by Micaela Morrissette *In the Porches of My Ears by Norman Prentiss Lonegan's Luck by Stephen Graham Jones *The Crevasse by Nathan Ballingrud and Dale Bailey The Lion's Den by Steve Duffy Lotophagi by Edward Morris The Gaze Dogs of Nine Waterfall by Kaaron Warren Dead Loss by Carole Johnstone *Strappado by Laird Barron *The Lammas Worm by Nina Allan *Technicolor by John Langan Big, big improvement on the first volume of this series, with more excellent stories and fewer boring ones. I've starred the high points, which run the gamut from near-future apocalypse ("Lowland Sea" by Suzy McKee Charnas) through a bad night at the movies ("In the Porches of My Ears" by Norman Prentiss) to, well, a bad night ("What Happens When You Wake Up in the Night" by Michael Marshall Smith). The Toronto-set Gemma Files/Stephen J. Barringer story does a lovely job of combining both the structure and the content of new media with one of the oldest structures for a horror story (the epistolary format), while John Langan's story presents us with a mountingly dread-filled college classroom lecture on Poe. Recommended.

If you enjoy modern horror fiction, there is a great collection in this book. From the unsettling to the weird, this book has a collection of stories that are a quick read and leave you unsettled, creeped out, or depressed. Its great!

This review is from: Best Horror of the Year: Volume 2 (Paperback)
I have to admit I was a bit let down by volume one of The Best Horror of the Year. For my taste, I found the stories a bit dry and slow and lacking in personality. I'm happy to say the series comes back with bang with volume two. Overall, I found this group of stories far more lively and unsettling. My favories were the creepy "each thing i show you is a piece of my death" and the utterly wonderful "What Happens When You Wake up in the Night." I'd also like to call out "Mrs. Midnight" by Reggie Oliver, which was filled with personality and was exactly what I was missing in volume one. I'm now very much looking for to volume three.
