From the most acclaimed horror editor in the business comes the most groundbreaking horror of the new millennium.

Here you will find iconic authors mingling with unexpected new masters of terror. These tales represent the finest stories of s new era, in which evil both everyday and unfathomable will simply not go away.
In “Ambitious Boys Like You,” two inexperienced thieves discover a residence which makes Home Alone seem like a playground romp. The question of “Is She Wicked? Is She Good?,” is asked by concerned parents whose cruel child courts fairy revenge. The “Ash Mouth Man” may be just a legend to girls who wish to waste away – but is he only worth just one kiss?
