The Century's Best Horror Fiction, Volume 1: 1901-1950
John Pelan | 2011 | ISBN: 1587670801 | English | 706 pages | PDF | 26 MB
To celebrate the best horror of the 20th century, Cemetery Dance Publications commissioned a spectacular two-volume anthology project under the editorship of noted author and historian of the horror genre, John Pelan.
Pelan selected one story published during each year of the century as the most notable story of that year. The ground rules were simple: Only one selection per author. Only one selection per year.
All of that adds up to two huge volumes, one hundred authors, one hundred classic stories, over 700,000 words of fiction — history in the making!
