About This Item
Baltimore: CD Publications [Cemetery Dance], 1992. First Edition; Signed Edition; Limited Edition. Cloth. As new/as new. Harry O. Morris. A fine (as new) limited signed edition in a fine dust jacket and fine slipcase. Appears unread. This is number 468 of 500 signed and numbered copies. Three full pages of author signatures (see table of contents below). Blue cloth boards and white endpapers. 429 pp. Octavo. The Definitive Best of The Horror Show is one of the most important books of the year. As editor David B. Silva notes in his expanded Introduction: "There are only a few back issues of The Horror Show still floating around, and in all honesty this book serves as a swan song of sorts." For eight wondrous years, The Horror Show held a special position of respect and honor in the horror/dark fantasy genre. When the final double issue was published in March 1990, the entire field lost a very dear friend. This deluxe volume showcases editor David B. Silva's "definitive" choice of the very best stories from the magazine's publishing history. In addition to forty chilling short stories from the field's best writers — including Dean R. Koontz, Robert R. McCammon, Joe R. Lansdale, Ramsey Campbell, Dennis Etchison, Nancy A. Collins, and many others — this volume features a brand new, expanded Introduction.
