BEST HORROR KARL EDWARD WAGNER HC (2025)

"The second volume of Karl Edward Wagner's horror fiction collects much of his shorter and painfully explicit later work, including such stories as 'Little Lessons in Gardening,' 'Slug,' 'Prince of the Punks,' 'More Sinned Against' and other disturbing tales by an acknowledged master of the genre, whose tales are tinged with an acidic, wry sense of humor."

"The first volume collecting Karl Edward Wagner's short horror fiction includes the title story, the classic Lovecraftian 'Sticks,' 'The Fourth Seal,' 'Beyond Any Measure,' and other classic horror tales by a unique Southern voice in American fiction. Lavishly designed and illustrated, Wagner's psychological portrayals and ingenious use of Southern landscape make this publication an event."
