Winner of the Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Awards: âTwenty insanely inventive, hauntingly atmospheric and flat out coo coo for Cocoa Puffs storiesâ (Hellnotes). A World Fantasy Award nominee, âthis anthology . . . is a collection of some of the most talented horror and speculative fiction authors writing todayâ (BuzzFeed). It includes all-new stories by Laird Barron, Pat Cadigan, Brian Evenson, Jeffrey Ford, CaÃtlin R. Kiernan, Garth Nix, Michael Marshall Smith, Kaaron Warren, and other masters of all things spooky and suspenseful. In tales that crisscross the boundaries of fear and imaginationâfrom a haunted courtyard in New Orleans to a remote Arctic research stationâswamp monsters, pool-cleaning robots, and cannibalistic spirits wreak chaos and terror across the pages. Youâll be invited to a prom where a psycho hides inside a sparkly dress or rented tux; on a trip aboard a train to a destination that teems with ghosts; and into the darkest recesses of a human mind, the most fertile ground for the blossoming of true evil. âDatlowâs âexperimentalâ crowdfunded horror anthology is nicely unthemed. . . . This is an excellent anthology for horror fans, with a nice range of tones and styles and some intriguing new voices.â âPublishers Weekly â[Fearful Symmetries] not only goes beyond expectations, it raises the bar high above into the horror heavens. . . . A melting pot of distinct voices and styles that leave you wanting more.â âHellnotes âOne of the best horror anthologies Iâve ever read.â âThirteen OâClock
