Screams From the Dark is a chilling anthology featuring all-original tales of monsters from bestselling and award-winning authors, edited by Ellen Datlow, one of the top editors in horror. From werewolves and vampires, to demons and aliens, the monster is one of the most recognizable figures in horror. But what makes something, or someone, monstrous? In Screams From the Dark, authors attempt to answer this question, with stories running the gamut from traditional to modern, from mainstream to literary, from explorations of familiar monsters to the unknown and unimaginable.
