Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Take a journey into darkness. Visit places where one might expect to findthe dark -- in a house where love was shared and lost, a milky-white poolin an Australian cave, the trenches of World War I, the deep woods. You wouldnot be surprised to find the dark in a cheap apartment on the wrong side oftown, down mean streets, under a gallows-tree, along dank passageways, trappedunderground, in the near future, or among the mysteries of old New Orleans.Dunes, lakes, isolated cabins, old books, and Old West saloons -- well, thedarkness might easily be there. But we've also found locales you thought weresafe from shadows -- a rib joint with good blues playing, inside an oldwardrobe, on a baseball diamond, the Beverly Wilshire Hotel... Travel into the best dark fantasy and horror from 2011 with more thanfive-hundred pages of tales from some of today's best-known writers of thefantastique as well as new talents -- stories that will take you to adiverse assortment of dark places.
