Praise for this book


"Just in time for Halloween, Granta, the London-based quarterly, calls on the American master of horror, Stephen King, to headline a new issue devoted to horror that's more literary than gory, yet still chilling and at times, bloody."
-- USA Today


"Looking for something a little more cerebral this Halloween than underwear models with fangs? You can't do better than the new issue of Granta: "Horror." The 117th volume of the British literary journal offers a bone-chilling selection of fiction and nonfiction."
-- The Washington Post
