Stephen Jones & Kim Newman – Necrology: 1995Not sure how or why this volume has been overlooked until now, as Best Horror 7 was the place I first encountered Michael Marshall Smith's masterpiece of .gif terror, More Tomorrow and I remember being favourably disposed to a number of the stories, including Graham Masterton's The Black Madonna (about which, I now remember nothing), David A. Sutton's nightmare in Venice, La Serenissima and Chris Fowler's (far from ) The Most Boring Woman In The World. Golden age veterans Manly Wade Wellman and Jane Rice are in, flying the flag for vintage pulp horror just as the late Evangeline Walton has done so in recent volumes. Neil Gaiman's present with one of his love 'em or hate 'em poems. Anyone care to talk us through the highs and lows?

Picked this up on an excursion today. More than happy to add views if folk want to know.

Please do. I'm particularly interested in the Chris Fowler story. I've read a few of his horror stories and I'm a big fan of his Bryant & May novels.
