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 fans crave. Now, with the ninth volume of the series, Datlow is back again to bring you the stories that will keep you up at night. 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.

this has a lot of hit and misses for me but I would say the misses are maybe 3 or 4 total
otherwise all of them are bone chilling and I couldnt recommend it more for seekers of thrills and horror

The stories were very good, but I've been spoiled by the continuity of novels. I occasionally missed the transitions between stories while listening as I was cleaning up at work at the end of the day.

Harder to get through than I anticipated

I liked most of the stories. The story about the mine was creepy and sad.

Every anthology is a hit or miss and this one is no exception. I happen to enjoy a large majority of the stories many of which include tales of cosmic horror ala HP Lovecraft. All are well written stories and thankfully the gross out tales are missing.

Great Collection!

Overall the stories were meh. There weren't as many stories as you'd think because half of them spanned 2 chapters. The last 2 chapters [final story] were the best and stayed with me. The strength of that story alone is why I would recommend this book.

The Final Story is Worth Getting This Book

Definitely worth a listen! Solid writing on all these short stories. Vivid characters, mesmerizing storylines, gorgeous prose--each immersive, gripping story is a pleasure to read. Ellen Datlow is a fantastic editor and did a wonderful job bringing these stories together in this can't-be-missed, 5-star collection. Highly, highly recommend!

Fun, dark, and atmospheric!

Some of the stories are a slow burn, but worth every minute. The narration is top notch.

Well worth it.

maybe I'm just jaded but none were scary, and all but 2 held my attention and I thought they were good. A couple I wish had been longer or made into a full novel.

overall worth the credit for the stories but not if you want actual horror

not horror but good stories
