Description: For anyone looking for a bold collection of horror and crime stories, this Nick Mamatas-edited anthology inspired by the dark edges of alternative music features new work from Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Paul Tremblay, Josh Malerman, Meg Gardiner, and more.
After midnight is as dark as it gets... Whether thanks to an overnight college radio shift or cable pumping flickering videos into TVs across America, the music of the alternative era was the soundtrack to our lives, and sometimes our deaths. 120 Murders is an anthology of power chord crimes and keyboard horrors-- the best noir, dark fantasy, and transgressive fiction from writers inspired by grunge, goth, ska, synthpop, and every eclectic sound of the alternative era. Featuring new stories by Cara Hoffman, Jeff Chon, Zandra Renwick, Jason Ridler, Veronica Schanoes, Todd Grimson, Alex Jennings, Josh Malerman, William Boyle, Michael Marano, Meg Gardiner, Brian Francis Slattery, Jeffrey Ford, Elena Mauli Shapiro, Chris L. Terry, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Libby Cudmore, Cyan Katz, Paul Tremblay, Selena Chambers, Maxim Jakubowski, and Molly Tanzer.
