The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror : Volume 04 This lineup belongs to Best New Horror 4 (1993), edited by Ramsey Campbell and Stephen Jones, a volume that cements the anthology’s reputation for capturing the evolving sophistication and literary daring of modern horror. Introduction: Horror in 1992 surveys a genre in flux—one that has absorbed the psychological, surreal, and cultural sensibilities of contemporary fiction while retaining its unsettling power. The stories that follow explore horror as reflection: Clive Barker’s The Departed evokes quiet grief and ghostly transcendence, Lisa Tuttle’s Replacements dissects intimacy and identity through grotesque metaphor, and Thomas Ligotti’s The Glamour exemplifies his signature cosmic unease. Poppy Z. Brite’s How to Get Ahead in New York offers a slick, macabre satire of urban ambition, while Graham Joyce’s Under the Pylon and Joel Lane’s And Some Are Missing delve into the melancholic landscapes of working-class despair and psychological fragmentation. Elsewhere, Best New Horror 4 balances the visionary with the visceral. Karl Edward Wagner’s Did They Get You to Trade? and Nicholas Royle’s Night Shift Sister capture the human cost of obsession and alienation, while Christopher Fowler’s Norman Wisdom and the Angel of Death and Kim Newman’s Red Reign infuse pop culture with gothic irony. M. John Harrison contributes two hauntingly abstract tales (The Dead and Anima), while Peter Atkins’ Aviatrix and Ian R. MacLeod’s Snodgrass show how alternate realities and subtle dread intertwine with speculative fiction. The anthology concludes with Peter Straub’s The Ghost Village, an atmospheric piece steeped in ambiguity, and Necrology: 1992, the annual record of horror’s departed creators. Collectively, this volume captures the early ’90s horror zeitgeist—literary yet lurid, introspective yet shocking—affirming that the genre’s heart beats strongest where human frailty meets the unknown.

Let customers speak for us
This series was discontinued due to issues with the two authors as well as the publishing house. You can't buy the first 4-5 books in the series in print, ebook, or audiobook. An old print copy for one of them can go for like $200 on ebay. So to find the entire audiobook series for such an insanely good price made me take the plunge and buy. I figured even if it didn't work, it was worth the attempt. But the CD came, had everything on it, and I've since converted it to listen to the Books app on my iPhone. Soooooo worth it.
Couldn't believe the great price for this series. CD came in good time, even during the holidays. The audio is slightly lower quality than expected, but once you get into the groove of listening you stop noticing.
arrive in a timely manner and works well
A rare and hard to find series of audiobooks. And a fantastic find in this case. The sound quality varies, but considering the source material, not too bad at all.
Prompt and efficient delivery (to UK).
Certainly good value for money.
