Favorite Short Story Horror Collections
 

I apologize if this already exists somewhere; I tried searching but didn't find anything.

What are your favorite short story horror collections?

I'm not going to be any help here, because I have read so many over the years they just all blend together. I love anthologies. Maybe even more than novels. I just love short form fiction, and an anthology gives you the chance to read the works of so many different authors. If one doesn't suit you, the next one might.

So, sorry for going off on such a tangent and not being any help whatsoever. :P

Some of my favorites are Stephen King's Night Shift and Skeleton Crew, Lovecraft's Lurking Fear and Other Stories, The Haunter of the Dark, and The Horror in the Museum, Robert W. Chambers's The King in Yellow, and Ramsey Cambell's Coldprint

from what iv read so far,the best of hp lovecraft and clive barkers books of blood. oh and the best if modern new horror, but thatdoesnt really count as its heaps of different authors.....or does it

If you're asking if books with short stories by various authors count then yes. It can be various short stories by one or multiple authors, one or multiple themes, etc, just as long as it's horror.

Continuing in the Lovecraft vein, I am currently reading Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos and it is very spooky and good.

I really liked The books of Blood by Clive Barker.I read them when I was younger and thought they were awesome.I require a little more from my reading now and wince everytime I see the word 'Cacophony'~Mr Barker really likes that word it seems.

what more do you want??

Have you read Let the right one in John Ajvide Lindqvist ? Thats my perfect book!

is it short stories?
