"This year the Series has gone farther distances than ever before to find authors who evolve the Gothic genre. Authors born in eleven countries contribute new fiction (or fiction never published in English) to the fifth in the Exotic Gothic serie-twenty-six stories in all, split into two volumes. A commitment was also made early to encourage gender balance in the anthology. After reading with shock how women writers are severely underrepresented in many genre anthologies the Editor asked, "Why are we cheating ourselves and our readers in this way? And how do we face our daughters if we perpetuate that unfairness?" Thirteen of the stories are written by women, and thirteen by men."
