The Dark Descent: I haven't read this yet, but it contains TONS of classic horror stories from all of the masters of the genre, including Poe, Lovecraft, M. R. James, King, Barker, Shirley Jackson, Algernon Blackwood, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ambrose Bierce, and many, many more. I can't recommend this one highly enough!
The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror Series, now in its 15th year
Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos
Gathering The Bones

The Dark Descent...just got recently..and its most definatively one of the biggest,AND best out there.. a GEM!!!

Barker's Books of Blood

I loved Clive Barker's Books of Blood Vol. 1-3. Very creepy/gory stuff. Still need to pick up the rest of the scattered collection...

Any collection of Jack Vance stories would be worth your time and money.

The only books of Oates stories I'd recommend is Haunted:Tales of the Grotesque.

One of my favorite short story collections is "Voices from Hades" by Jeffrey Thomas. The entire collection is based in the depths of hell... pretty awesome stuff. Jeffrey Thomas is incredibly creative.

Jeffrey Thomas' stuff sounds cool. Did you guys publish Punktown? By the way, since you're one of those people I know on Myspace but don't really know too much, I'd like to say howdy, glad to see you at HDC and hope to see you here more often.

Slice of Life

This one is dark and twisted:

"Slice Of Life" by Paul Haines

Meet the mind of Paul Haines. Slice of Life contains seventeen glittering stories, dripping with twenty first century paranoia and anxiety. The honesty of Paul's writing horrifies as he describes the private mind of men.

Reviews:
Exuberant, profane, and totally whacked out - Ellen Datlow
The anxiety in these stories is palpable. Love the paranoia! Love the self loathing. Love the psychosis - Aurealis Magazine
It's a great, nasty read. Recommended - Jenny Blackford, World Fantasy Awards judge

More info: www.themaynepress.com or www.paulhaines.com
