Nightmare Carnival
Ellen Datlow is an incredibly prolific editor of the horror anthology. One look through the page in the front of "Nightmare Carnival" listing the other books she’s worked on let’s you know this isn’t her first performance, or even her tenth. And one read convinces you Datlow has got this act down. "Nightmare Carnival" is a blast. You’ve got stories for all different proclivities: fast action-filled tales, sweeping period dramas, modern day love stories both sweet, and seedy, and simple stories of people from various walks of life hearing about, or seeing, scary carnivals. "Nightmare Carnival," has tales of terror that hit you in a variety of different ways, and scare you with different attacks. All of the stories within the pages of this collection use bits and pieces of various types of techniques and styles. Still, the point is this collection works on many different levels, and can appeal to many types of horror fans. Cosmic horror fans, supernatural horror fans, social horror fans, experimental horror fans you’ll find a story for whatever kind of horror you're into in these pages. Pick up Nightmare Carnival if you feel like going for a wild ride, and walking a pitch-black midway. It’s one of the most entertaining horror collections I’ve read this year. And absolutely pick it up if you’re a fan of scary stories about clowns, the fair, or the circus.
