Every year, editor extraordinaire, Ellen Datlow, publishes a volume of the year’s best short horror fiction. An expert in the field, she knows what’s what.

You can check out the book here:

It offers 23 stories from some amazing authors in the genre.

Since she spends a gigantic amount of time reading tons and tons of stories published in dozens and dozens of anthologies and websites/magazines, she also includes a longer list of recommendations for the year. You can find that here.

I’m excited my story, “Going, Going” is included on that list. It appears in the anthology Where the Silent Ones Watch, ed. James Chambers.

Using The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson as inspiration, the story follows a firecracker of a woman in the 1930s, who may or may not be becoming invisible.

I’m so excited and grateful. Thanks, Ellen & Jim!
