The Best Horror of the Year

review 1: This was a pretty good collection-much better than Paula Guran's _The Best Dark Fantasy & Horror (2011)_. Though, what more should I expect from Datlow since she has been one of the best genre editors of the last twenty years? Because of a writing project, I have been reading and re-reading collection after collection of dark fantasy and horror. So far Datlow collects the best I've come across. Not every piece was to my taste, but the quality was strong throughout.
review 2: Loved the fantasy and horror collections that Datlow used to edit along with Terri Winding. I miss those for the stories and for the long, year-in-review introductions the editors provided. This is a lighter version of those books, concentrating solely on the horror half. Not as well p... moreut together as the older series (I didn't like the author bios and info lumped together at the back instead of with each story, for example), but it's a fine collection nevertheless. Some stories better than others, of course, but that's the case in any anthology. I'll be on the lookout for later volumes in this series. less
