Released this week from S.T. Joshi.
The blurb:
"The literature of horror is an enormous field, and writers have been assembling short story collections since the early nineteenth century. Such authors as Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ambrose Bierce, and Bram Stoker wrote many such volumes, and in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries the trend has continued with the work of Arthur Machen, Lord Dunsany, Algernon Blackwood, H. P. Lovecraft, and others right down to the recent work of Stephen King, Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, Caitlín R. Kiernan, and many others. In this volume S. T. Joshi, a leading critic and bibliographer of horror fiction, has compiled the most comprehensive index of single-author horror collection ever assembled, listing nearly 3300 titles. Joshi also includes an index of the nearly 30,000 stories included in these books. The result is an expansive portrait of a literary genre that has enlisted the skill of countless authors worldwide."
I was able to send Mr. Joshi the contents of a dozen or so collections that he was having trouble locating (he was gracious enough to thank me in the book) and the pricing on this is ridiculously inexpensive for the amount of information it contains. Twenty or so years ago this would have only been available in hardback and probably priced in excess of $100.
Available from Amazon.
