Just in case you didn’t read my short story
“What Will Come After” in
my collection of the same name, you’ve got another chance, because it’s now the lead story in Best New Horror 22 from the perceptive editor Stephen Jones. And if the thought of reading me isn’t enough of an impetus to get you to pick up a copy, you’d also get to read my betters, writers like Ramsey Campbell, Joe Lansdale, and Robert Shearman.
This is my third appearance in one of Jones’ annual roundups, as I was also reprinted in
Best New Horror 4 and
Best New Horror 8.
The
UK edition from Robinson (with cover art by Vincent Chong) is on the left, while the
U.S. edition from Running Press (with cover art by Joe Roberts) is on the right.
I love both images equally, but I’ve got to admit that the freaky pumpkin is weirding me out …
