Elemental Forces: Horror Short Stories (The Flame Tree Book of Horror)

Elemental Forces, edited by Mark Morris, is the newest edition of the critically acclaimed ABC of Horror series. All of the short stories contained therein are new, most of which were commissioned from some of the genre’s most celebrated voices, like Poppy Z. Brite, Gwendolyn Kiste, and Paul Tremblay. When combined with some of the new and intriguing voices in horror featured within its pages, this sizable collection offers readers a heaping helping of both the novel and the familiar, which, in my humble opinion, makes for the very best type of anthology. While the themes and content of each story vary, as the general thread linking each one together seems to be simply ‘modern horror,’ there’s sure to be something enjoyable for everyone. The thing I love about loose themes for these types of anthologies is that since there are twenty short stories total, each one is short enough that if it doesn’t suit your particular horror proclivities, then an entirely different tale is just a few pages away. Perfect for a quick read before bedtime to leave you with pleasantly disturbing dreams.
