Monsters: As old as the oldest of stories, as new as our latest imaginings.
From the ancient stone corridors of the labyrinth to the graffitied alleyways of
the contemporary metropolis, they stalk the shadows. Leering from the darkness
of the forest, jostling for space in our closets, they walk, crawl, creep and
scuttle through our nightmares. Close as the clutter under the bed or the other
side of the mirror, they are our truest companions.
Creatures features the best monster fiction from the past thirty
years, offering a wide variety of the best monster stories including original
stories from the field's most relevant names and hottest newcomers including
Clive Barker, Sarah Langan, Joe R. Lansdale, Kelly Link, China Miéville,
and Cherie Priest.
