Dark Stars

New Tales of Darkest Horror

De: John F.D. Taff - editor

Narrado por: Jennifer O'Donnell, John Keating, Jonathan Todd Ross, Neil Shah, Jasmin Walker, Rita Wolf, Fareeda Ahmed

Dark Stars, edited by John F.D. Taff, is a tribute to horror’s longstanding short fiction legacy, featuring 12 terrifying original stories from today's most noteworthy authors, with an introduction by bestselling author Josh Malerman and an afterword by Ramsey Campbell.

In this book, you’ll find tales of dead men walking, an insidious secret summer fling, an island harboring unspeakable power, and a dark hallway that beckons. You’ll encounter terrible monsters—both human and supernatural—and
be forever changed. The stories in Dark Stars run the gamut from traditional to modern, from dark fantasy to neo-noir, from explorations of beloved horror tropes to the unknown—possibly unknowable—threats.

It’s all in here because it’s all out there, now, in horror.

Dark Stars features all-new stories from award-winning authors and up-andcoming voices like Stephen Graham Jones, Priya Sharma, Usman T. Malik, Caroline Kepnes, John Langan, and more. Created as an homage to the 1980 classic horror
anthology Dark Forces, edited by Kirby McCauley, Dark Stars features an afterword from original contributor Ramsey Campbell—a poignant finale to this bone-chilling collection.

Mixed bag.

I only really enjoyed a quarter of the stories. Some performances weren’t the best.

Some of it was really good, though.

A little something for everyone.

Disappointing

Given the credentials of the authors, I expected more. This is hardly the "darkest" horror. The last two stories saved the anthology.
