Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 1990, 1997, 2001-2009 - Volume - 7,8,12,13 The Best New Horror and Mammoth Book of Best New Horror anthologies edited by Stephen Jones (with Ramsey Campbell co-editing the earliest volumes) stand as some of the most influential and enduring collections in modern dark fiction. These volumes, beginning in 1989, serve not only as yearly snapshots of horror’s evolving voice but as historical documents charting the genre’s transformation from gothic and psychological terror into postmodern dread, surrealism, and literary experimentation. The first volume (1989) captures the energy of a new horror renaissance: Thomas Ligotti’s “The Strange Design of Master Rignolo” and Ramsey Campbell’s “It Helps If You Sing” embody the creeping unease of existential fear, while authors like Robert McCammon, Steve Rasnic Tem, and Kim Newman blend traditional gothic with contemporary anxieties. By Volume 8 (1996), the series shows the genre’s diversification — from Poppy Z. Brite’s macabre sensuality in Mussolini and the Axeman’s Jazz to Christopher Fowler’s urban hauntings and Norman Partridge’s hard-edged Americana. Thomas Ligotti, ever-present, delivers dreamlike nihilism (Gas Station Carnivals), while Karl Edward Wagner’s “Final Cut” underscores the horror of decay and obsession. Later entries, such as Volume 12 and 13, reveal horror’s literary maturity and global reach. Caitlín R. Kiernan’s In the Water Works and Elizabeth Hand’s Cleopatra Brimstone infuse the uncanny with atmosphere and psychological realism, while Michael Marshall Smith, Kim Newman, and Graham Joyce elevate the genre to a blend of intellect, melancholy, and imagination. Recurring contributors—Ligotti, Campbell, Fowler, Lane, and Tem—anchor the continuity of tone: quiet horror steeped in ambiguity. Each volume concludes with Stephen Jones’ Necrology and Useful Addresses, scholarly features documenting the year’s key genre events, deaths, and publications—cementing the series’ role as both an anthology and a cultural chronicle. Together, these books form a monumental anthology series—a living museum of modern horror fiction where literary ambition, grotesque beauty, and existential terror coexist. They trace how the genre evolved from pulp and folklore into an art form capable of confronting the 20th and 21st centuries’ deepest fears: loss of self, technology, memory, and meaning.

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.
