The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror : Volume 03 This list represents Best New Horror 3 (1992), edited by Ramsey Campbell and Stephen Jones, a continuation of the influential annual anthology series gathering the finest horror fiction of the previous year. Introduction: Horror in 1991 reflects on the state of the genre’s evolution, noting its increasing literary sophistication and its movement beyond pulp tropes into deeper psychological and societal fears. The stories in this volume explore horror through love, loss, identity, and transformation. Ramsey Campbell’s The Same in Any Language offers a slow-building dread rooted in foreign unease, while Thomas Ligotti’s The Medusa and Kathe Koja’s Impermanent Mercies showcase the existential and body-horror extremes of the genre. Robert McCammon’s The Miracle Mile and Karl Edward Wagner’s The Slug add a sense of Southern Gothic and gritty realism, while S.P. Somtow’s Chui Chai and Alan Brennert’s Ma Qui merge supernatural horror with emotional depth and cultural resonance. Elsewhere, the collection balances literary ambition with visceral scares. Kim Newman’s The Snow Sculptures of Xanadu and Grant Morrison’s The Braille Encyclopedia bring imagination and dark irony, while Elizabeth Hand’s The Bacchae channels mythic horror through modern sensibility. Nancy A. Collins’ Raymond, Douglas Clegg’s Where Flies Are Born, and Norman Partridge’s Guignoir explore monsters both literal and human. More intimate and melancholy pieces, such as Dennis Etchison’s When They Gave Us Memory, Charles L. Grant’s One Life, in an Hourglass, and Steve Rasnic Tem’s Taking Down the Tree, deal with grief and psychological disintegration. The anthology closes, as tradition, with Necrology: 1991, honoring figures the genre lost that year. Altogether, Best New Horror 3 presents a cross-section of early 1990s horror — literary yet disturbing, elegiac yet visceral — proving that the genre’s vitality lies in its ability to blend emotional truth with creeping terror.

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.
