Horror Without Victims ed. by D F Lewis (2013)

Twenty-five original Horror Stories written independently by twenty-five different authors who responded to the theme 'Horror Without Victims'. Their serendipitous gestalt seems to aspire towards a curative force for all of us.


I’m proud that my story In the Earth has been included in this anthology. There is in a way something inevitable about the titular theme as victims seem to be a prerequisite of most horror fiction; and as the Editor has constantly pushed to the limits both his own fiction and that of the contributors to his anthologies, it seems fitting and logical that writers should now be told: “No, no more of that, let’s see what you can do without your ill-used and misbegotten toys. Can you still scare us without them?”

Well, can we? Did we?
