The Valancourt Book of World Horror Stories
Volume Two
Edited by James D. Jenkins and Ryan Cagle

Critics called the first Valancourt Book of World Horror Stories "groundbreaking" (Publishers Weekly), "stellar from top to bottom" (Library Journal), "pioneering" (Washington Post), "a veritable feast for horror lovers" (British Fantasy Society).  Now for this exciting follow-up volume the editors have expanded their search to even more countries, finding more of the world's best horror fiction and making it available to American readers for the first time.

Featuring a wide variety of tales from Brazil to Malta to Nigeria to Japan, and all points in between, this new anthology is a must-have for any horror fan or anyone interested in contemporary world literature.
