The Year's Best Horror Stories: Series I

Spine-tinglers of the Seventies combine the traditions of the past with the new terrors of the science-fiction age of the present. This first annual selection of the year's best in fantasy-horror embodies the heritage of the classic masters with the modern techniques of Lovecraft, Bradbury, and masters of future projection. Here is a tale of an isolated laboratory and the man who miscalculated the dimensions. Here is the chill of a future parliament debating the death of coming generations. Here is the archaeological quest of a researcher who had come to wonder whether he was entirely of this world. Here are Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Kit Reed, E.C. Tubb, and ten more of today's masters in the first series of The Year's Best Horror Stories. Contents: Double Whammy by Robert Bloch. The Sister City by Brian Lumley.
