In the foreword to this book, Ligotti writes a bit about weird fiction. He talks about how that type of fiction is about the unknown, and even describes the quintessential weird fiction story, which is one where a man reaches for his glasses in the dark, only to have someone place them into his hand...

You can always count on Ellen Datlow to put together a good anthology! As with any collection, I personally like some stories more than others, but this is definitely recommended: not just for Lovecraft fans, but for any reader of horror and dark fantasy.***** Only the End of the World Again by N...

A deeply delicious descent into paranoia and insanity, with some hauntingly dark imagery along the way. Highly recommended.

Kolejny bardzo udany numer. Tematyczna wszechstronność - to jedna z największych zalet CNP. Oczywiście wszystko kręci się wokół szeroko pojętej grozy. Teksty trzymają dość równy, solidny poziom.
