Favorite was probably "The Bedroom Light," it was really odd and actually kind of funny. Least favorite was "Bethany's Wood." Protagonist just got on my nerves a little too much. Overall, a solid collection of scary stories. Better than a lot of the collections I've read, in that none of them was a complete bust. ( ) I started reading science fiction as a kid, 'way back in the '60s, so I absorbed the Party Line of the day, the one that was promulgated back during the 'New Wave' Wars: that 'science fiction' was but a subset of the larger universe of 'speculative fiction'. 'Speculative Fiction' (known to its friends as 'SF') *included* 'science fiction', but also includes 'fantasy', and even some of the more supernatural flavors of 'horror'. Slipstream, magical realism: it can all be subsumed into the larger 'umbrella' genre of "SF". So, while I'm basically a 'science fiction' sort of guy, ideologically I've come to feel an obligation to keep abreast with what's going on in all the other corners of the field. And for much of this, I've come to rely upon Ellen Datlow: her roundup in the annual series "The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror " is - in many years - most of what I see in those sub-genres. I'm perfectly happy to let HER find stuff and bring it to my attention. (And her original anthologies are worth tracking down, too.) So when I heard that she had a new anthology of *original* horror, I took a peek. Now, let's announce up front that I am NOT by temperment a 'horror' reader, and the peek was from between my fingers; but even so, I can recognize a good story when I read one. There's good stuff here. You can trust Ellen Datlow. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

As stated in her introduction to Inferno, Ellen Datlow asked her favorite authors for stories that would "provide the reader with a frisson of shock, or a moment of dread so powerful it might cause the reader outright physical discomfort; or a sensation of fear so palpable that the reader feels compelled to turn on the bright lights and play music or seek the company of others to dispel the fear." Mission accomplished. Datlow has produced a collection filled with some of the most powerful voices in the field: Pat Cadigan, Terry Dowling, Jeffrey Ford, Christopher Fowler, Glen Hirshberg, K. W. Jeter, Joyce Carol Oates, and Lucius Shepard, to name a few. Each author approaches fear in a different way, but all of the stories' characters toil within their own hell. An aptly titled anthology, Inferno will scare the pants off listeners and further secure Ellen Datlow's standing as a preeminent editor of modern horror.
