The Century's Best Horror Fiction: Volume Two, 1951-2000

In celebration of the new millennium, Cemetery Dance Publications has commissioned a spectacular two-volume anthology project under the editorship of noted author and historian of the horror genre, John Pelan. John will be selecting one story published during each year of the 20th Century (1901-2000) as the most notable story of that year -- all 100 stories will then be collected in The Century's Best Horror Fiction. The ground rules are simple: Only one selection per author. Only one selection per year. Two huge volumes, one hundred authors, one hundred classic stories, over 700,000 words of fiction -- history in the making!
