OVERVIEW: Fear is the oldest human emotion. The most primal. We like to think we're civilized. We tell ourselves we're not afraid. And every year, we skim our fingers across nightmares, desperately pitting our courage against nameless/shivering dread. What scares you? What frightens you? Horror wears new faces in these carefully selected stories. The details may change. But the fear remains/lingers. The Best Horror of the Year Volume 4 is a new collection of horror brought to you by Ellen Datlow, winner of multiple Hugo, Bram Stoker, and World Fantasy awards.
