Some of the stories are classics, the best that the genre has to offer, by renowned writers such as Neil Gaiman , Amelia Beamer , Robert Bloch , and Thomas Harris . Other selections are from the latest and most promising crop of new authors. John Skipp, who is also the editor of Zombies , Demons and Werewolves and Shapeshifters , provides fascinating insight, through two nonfiction essays, into our insatiable obsession with serial killers and how these madmen are portrayed in popular culture. Resources at the end of the book includes lists of the genre's best long-form fiction, movies, websites, and writers.
