    "Cemetery Dance is one of the best. Great stuff."—Stephen King

    This amazing collection gathers the best short fiction from the best writers featured in the first 25 issues of the World Fantasy Award-winning magainze Cemetery Dance—a virtual who's who of contemporary masters of horror, including:

    • Poppy Z. Brite
    • Joe R. Landsdale
    • William F. Nolan
    • Nancy Collins
    • Matthew Costello
    • Thomas Tessier
    • Richard Layman
    • Steve Rasnic Tem
    • Jay R. Bonansinga
    • Bill Pronzini
    • And many more...

    The improbable life story of Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) included a peculiarly gothic childhood in Ireland during which he was successively abandoned by his mother, his father and his guardian; two decades in the United States, where he worked as a journalist and was sacked for marrying a former slave; and a long period in Japan, where he married a Japanese woman and wrote about Japanese society and aesthetics for a Western readership. His ghost stories, which were drawn from Japanese folklore and influenced by Buddhist beliefs, appeared in collections throughout the 1890s and 1900s. He is a much celebrated figure in Japan.
