WELCOME TO THE NEW HOME OF HORROR….
From Salt’s award-winning stable of ‘Best British’ anthologies, comes Best British Horror (5th June 2014). This fabulously gruesome new anthology is dedicated to showcasing and proving without doubt, that when it comes to horror and supernatural fiction, Britain is its obvious and natural home.
Edited by the British Fantasy Award winning editor Johnny Mains, Salt’s ‘Best’ series takes a journey into the bottomless depths of horror. You will find no ‘pleasing terrors’ here.
