Publisher's Summary

For over three decades, Ellen Datlow has been at the center of horror. Bringing you the most frightening and terrifying stories, Datlow always has her finger on the pulse of what horror listeners crave. Now, with the eighth volume of the series, Datlow is back again to bring you the stories that will keep you up at night.

Encompassed in the audio of The Best Horror of the Year have been such illustrious writers as: Neil Gaiman; Kelley Armstrong; Stephen King; Linda Nagata; Laird Barron; Margo Lanagan; and many others.

With each passing year, science, technology, and the march of time shine light into the craggy corners of the universe, making the fears of an earlier generation seem quaint. But this light creates its own shadows. The Best Horror of the Year chronicles these shifting shadows. It is a catalog of terror, fear, and unpleasantness as articulated by today's most challenging and exciting writers.

Somewhat Interesting, but....

In the end not many of the stories were scary or even thrilling. A few were well written enough to get through, at least two of them inched towards chilling. (One of which i actually wish had been longer, so it could be enjoyed more) and the rest were just okay. Still, the fact that you get to experience more than one story makes the purchase feel worthwhile.
lastly, the narrators were actually pretty decent 👌
