The Best Horror of the Year: Volume One by Ellen Datlow
4.0
I really enjoyed this collection. This was my first introduction to Ellen Datlow's editing and I must say I am impressed. This compilation was incredibly solid, dark, and quite a few were unsettlingly grotesque and arousing.
There was only one title that fell completely flat for me and very few that were merely 'ok' to my palate.
Excited to read the others in the series, glad I own them if they are this well curated. I also appreciated the start of the book, it includes a list of the various novels/stories that won horror awards around the world. This serves as an excellent primer for someone such as myself who is only recently rediscovering fiction and catching up on what I've missed.
