Horror anthologies may be a dime a dozen, but HAUNTED LEGENDS (a Tor hardcover debuting this week) looks to stand out from the pack. The collection was co-edited by the busy Ellen Datlow (pictured), the 2010 Hugo Award Best Editor Short Form winner, who has assembled 20 killer writers, including THE NAMELESS’ Ramsey Campbell, BUBBA HO-TEP’s Joe R. Lansdale, Kit Reed, IN SILENT GRAVES’ Gary A. Braunbeck, THRESHOLD’s Caitlin R. Kiernan and Kaaron Warren, as well as some of the hottest new talents in the field. Each writer wrestled with HAUNTED LEGENDS’ pretty unique theme, the make-or-break for omnibuses such as this: retell a classic ghost story or urban legend from around the world.

Jackson also runs The Monster Store, where he sells T-shirts sporting his designs as well as incredible posters depicting many horror icons.

Edgar Allan Poe. His name isn’t just synonymous with horror; he’s one of the prized few who have given it artistic validity. And if you want to adapt any of his work, you damn well better do it right, or fear the wrath of his rabid fan base—always a tough crowd. Stepping up to the plate is THE TOMB, a modern reimagining of Poe’s short story “Ligeia” and one of the films in the FANGORIA FrightFest lineup (along with PIG HUNT, FRAGILE, ROAD KILL, DARK HOUSE, THE HAUNTING, GRIMM LOVE and HUNGER), which are currently available exclusively through Blockbuster stores and Blockbuster By Mail, as well as digitally via Blockbuster On Demand.
