Locus reviews Best Horror

Congratulations to Ellen Datlow on another positive review of The Best Horror of the Year Volume One, this time in the December issue of Locus. According to the review, "The 19 horror stories and two poems Datlow has selected as her top picks for 2008 are as eclectic a mix as the contents she has pulled for any previous year. Most are by writers whose names will be instantly recognized by the majority of horror readers, but some of the contributors are relative unknowns whose presence suggests new and emerging talents that are crucial for keeping any type of fiction fresh."

And, in the spirit of shameless self-promotion (one of the remits of this blog) I'm pleased to report that Locus thinks my short story Girl in Pieces is "a magnificent urban fantasy giddy with hardcore horror imagery".
