ABOUT THE BOOK

Back in 1971, British publisher Sphere Books issued New Writings in Horror & the Supernatural edited by David A. Sutton, one of many original paperback horror anthologies that were appearing in newsagents and bookshops up and down the country during that time. They followed it up the next year with another volume of new horror fiction before the series was abruptly terminated prior to the third volume appearing (it was subsequently published by another imprint under a different title). However, that first volume had a profound impact on a young horror fan who had recently left school, and helped shape his future ambitions in the genre. Now, more than fifty years later, multiple award-winning editor Stephen Jones is reviving the title for PS Publishing, carrying on the numbering from those first two volumes (which themselves are available again as a trade paperback omnibus). Once again, New Writings in Horror & the Supernatural is showcasing some of the very best original stories by authors both relatively new to the field and those who are established names in the genre. It may be an old title, but horror has a new home . . .
