There’s a short but very interesting article by Stephen Jones at Publisher’s Weekly. Jones, editor of the recently published anthology A Book of Horrors (which received an enthusiastic review from our own Dave Simms– you can read the review here). Jones named his top ten picks for horror stories, and I’m going to link to his list here. See if you agree!

The authors he mentions are well-known in the genre, and if you don’t know exactly where you can find the stories he mentions, most of them have collections or longer works that might already be in your library. Some of the choices are ones you might not expect, like Ray Bradbury, who’s frequently defined as a science fiction writer, so it’s a great opportunity to market the horror genre to a new audience. You could do a great display bringing some of these to light!
