Winner of the World Fantasy Award and the British Fantasy Award, Fantasy Tales re-created the look and -- more important -- the entertainment value of the old pulp magazines from the 1930s and 1940s, but with up-to-date nightmares and modern-day monsters. These selections of both traditionally creepy storytelling and psychological hair-raisers are illustrated by a wide range of artists specializing in the macabre.

"Whatever your taste in terror, " veteran horror editors Stephen Jones and David Sutton promise, "we are certain you'll be suitably entertained and chilled as you explore these fictional slices of half-glimpsed worlds of horror."
