Nightmares

Ellen Datlow is the editor of “Nightmares: A New Decade of Modern Horror.” Twenty-four stories that explore the darkness, evil, and fear present in classic horror literature are included in this spine-tingling collection. A house where “Home Alone” appears like a playground romp is broken into by unlucky thieves.

To reclaim the Atlas of Hell, an antiquarian bookshop teams up with a mob enforcer. Survivors of the apocalyptic world struggle with the eerie presence of demon ladies in the skies or insane radicals scouring the planet.
