Martin, Stephen King, Angela Carter, Kelly Link, Franz Kafka, China Miéville, Clive Barker, Haruki Murakami, M. R. James, Neil Gaiman, Mervyn Peake, and Michael Chabon. This extensive collection brings together the biggest and boldest stories from the last hundred years, eschewing traditional fantasy tropes for something more peculiar and unsettling.
