Other Terrors
ByPublisher Description
An anthology of original new horror stories edited by Bram Stoker Award winners Vince Liaguno and Rena Mason that showcases authors from underrepresented backgrounds telling terrifying tales of what it means to be, or merely to seem, “other”
Offering original new stories from some of the biggest names in horror as well as some of the hottest up-and-coming talents, Other Fears will provide the ultimate reading experience for horror fans who want to celebrate fear of “the other.” Be they of a different culture, a different background, a different sexual preference, a different belief system, or a different skin color, some people simply aren’t part of the dominant community—and are perceived as scary. Humans are almost instinctively inclined to fear what’s different, as foolish as that may be, and there are a multitude of individuals who have spent far too long on the outside looking in. And the thing about the outside is . . . it’s much larger than you think.
In Other Fears, horror writers from a multitude of underrepresented backgrounds will be putting a new, terrifying spin on what it means to be “the other.” People, places, and things once considered normal will suddenly appear different, striking a deeper, much more primal, chord of fear. Are our eyes playing tricks on us, or is there something truly sinister lurking under the surface of what we thought we knew? And who among us who is really of the other, after all?

“Anthologies are hard to rate and this is no different. Some stories were amazing, some were confusing and some just felt uninspired or cliched. I was excited to read when I chanced upon it at the local library; I wanted an inclusive horror anthology and it delivered on that note. But just like an assortment of chocolates with unconventional flavors beautifully wrapped in a gorgeous gift box, I disliked some, loved a few and ultimately unsure if I truly liked it on the whole.”

“The introduction really set the pace for this book. It gave me a new appreciation for the horror genre. I found myself considering the perspective of the horror’s after every story and many of them stuck with me. That being said, all horror should be this diverse and creatively written. The tropes were familiar but not cliché in anyway. This was the perfect way to kick off spooky season.”
