Blurb: “Some galleries specialize in the arts of painting. or sculpture, or crafts. But the gallery you are about to visit specializes in the most irresistibly riveting art of all-the art of horror, as practiced to perfection by the greatest modern masters of that ghoulish genre.
Join the one and only Stephen King as he gives a macabre new meaning to being madly in love in
"Nona," his stunning tale of perverse passion. Let Robert Bloch show what a real chamber of horrors can be, as the author of Psycho locks you into his eerie dazzler "The Rubber Room." Discover how Eric Van Lustbader of The Ninja fame can twist your nerves with excruciating ease in his story of fiendish femininity on an island of evil, "In Darkness, Angels." Encounter a dark dimension to the genius of the great Theodore Sturgeon as that star-treking storyteller demonstrates he was equally at home in a terrifying abyss.
This is but a sampling of the scares awaiting you in a gathering that includes the ultimate surprise party in T.E.D. Klein's "Petey"; a children's tale for adults only in Alan Ryan's "Death to the Easter Bunny!"; a hot seat that will make your hair stand on end in Dennis Etchison's "The Chair"; the agonies of an aging vampire in Tanith Lee's "Nune Dimittis"; an affair that goes from bed to worse in Craig Shaw Gardner's "Aim for the Heart"; a doctor of the mind
with a hellish notion of mental health in Ramsey Campbell's "The Sunshine Club"; the last lethal word in the war between the sexes in Stephen R.
Donaldson's "The Conqueror Worm"; and a demon in a holocaust death camp who makes the ovens seem almost divine in Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann's
"Down Among the Dead Men."
Add to these the tales of such wired writers as Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, William F. Nolan, Joseph Payne Brennan, Bernard Taylor, John Coyne, Michael Bishop, David Morrell, and Steve Rasnic Tem, and you have twenty gripping selections that make Gallery of Horror one of the very best anthologies ever assembled. It belongs in the hands and on the bookshelves of connoisseurs of classic chills for whom no leap into unknown evil is too bold or too scary.
