HORROR: ANOTHER 100 BEST BOOKS

Edited by Stephen Jones and Kim Newman, Horror: Another 100 Best Books (September, Carroll & Graf) follows up on the success of the first volume. Are there another 100 books worthy of inclusion? Certainly. There're probably another 200.

The editors are holding back the list of books covered until publication to "heighten interest in the project." But, the list of contributors has been released. Quite a diverse line-up!

(Evil Monkey: "I wonder if any of my ole pal Horror McMonkeytons' books will make the list." Jeff: "Any particular reason why you wonder about this?" Evil Monkey: "I dunno. I always liked ole McMonkeytons. All those maniacal clowns...So...what book did you cover?" Jeff: "I'm not allowed to tell." Evil Monkey: "Just whisper it in my ear. C'mon." Jeff: "I don't want to get that close to your ear." Evil Monkey: "Then write it on this piece of paper using a quill and those feces I just flung against the wall." Jeff: "You're full of shit.")

I hope Stev(ph)en King's name isn't spelled wrong on the final cover.

I'm surprised to see Robert Silverberg's name here, because he always said he doesn't like horror, and certainly doesn't write it.
