Anthologies

Last night was pretty quiet. I watched the latest episodes of True Blood, and Generation Kill. Which were both really good.

It was another really quiet day at work today, but I did get a really bad shock as I was leaving work and realised that I had left my phone on the office, so I had to rush back and get it. Luckily I managed to get it okay and it was fine.

Back home, after I had eaten, I read another story from Best New Horror 20 called "Falling Off the World" by Tim Lebbon, about a girl who is carried off into the sky when she gets entangled with balloons and encounters some ghostly figures in the sky. It was pretty strange, but good. The Best New Horror books are published every year, and it's been going for twenty years now. Basically each book opens with an eighty page overview of that year in the world of horror covering books, movies, TV, comics, video games and conventions. Then it follows with twenty to thirty of the best short horror stories published that year from well-established and famous writers as well as newcomers, and concludes with obituaries and useful or interesting addresses and websites. It is pretty good value.
