King Story Included In A Book Of Horrors




One of Britain's most acclaimed and experienced anthologists of horror fiction, Stephen Jones, has put together an original anthology of horror and dark fantasy titled, “A Book Of Horrors.”  It includes Stephen King’s story, “The Little Green God of Agony.”

The book is set to be published June 26th.

Cemetery Dance writes:
here is an original anthology of horror and dark fantasy in all its many and magnificent guises—from classic pulp-style tales of Dark and Stormy Nights, through more contemporary and psychological terrors, to the type of cutting-edge fiction that only the very best horror fiction can deliver. 
. . . Here are many of the authors who have helped shaped the genre in all of its forms, along with terrifying tales of unease by a new generation of storytellers devoted to the Dark Side.
Table of Contents:
"Introduction: Whatever Happened To Horror?" by Stephen Jones
"The Little Green God of Agony" by Stephen King

NEW KING STORY to appear in Anthology



Stephen Jones is editing an anthology of original stories titled "A Book Of Horrors."  First in line is a story by Stephen King titled "The Little Green God of Agony."  I don't know anything about the story itself, except that Cemetery Dance energetically says, " we're pleased to report this story is good old fashioned Gothic horror at its best!"  old fashioned gothic horror. . . sounds good to me.

Editor Stephen Jones has been widely published, but is probably most known to King fans for his book about Stephen King movies, titled: "CREEPSHOWS: THE ILLUSTRATED STEPHEN KING MOVIE GUIDE."  This is actually my favorite comapnion book to the Stephen King movies.

Jones' website warns that you "Open this book at your own peril!" because it is exactly what it claims to be: A book of horror!
