Michael Kelly is the editor of Shadows & Tall Trees, and Series Editor of the Year's Best Weird Fiction. His fiction has appeared in Black Static, The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror, Weird Fiction Review, and others.

Robert Shearman has written five short story collections, and between them they have won the World Fantasy Award, the Shirley Jackson Award, the Edge Hill Readers Prize, and three British Fantasy Awards. He began his career in the theatre, and was resident dramatist at the Northcott Theatre in Exeter, and regular writer for Alan Ayckbourn at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough; his plays have won the Sunday Times Playwriting Award, the World Drama Trust Award, and the Guinness Award for Ingenuity in association with the Royal National Theatre. A regular writer for BBC Radio, his own interactive drama series The Chain Gang has won two Sony Awards.

Vince Haig (illustrator). Pickering: Undertow Publications:, 2018. First edition, Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket, 402 pp. Cover artwork by: Vince Haig This copy "as new." I just love this series of anthologies. Sadly, this will be the last volume. The whole concept is wonderful and, the vast majority of the stories I've read in previous volumes have been terrific. As usual, this volume includes a number of writers unknown to me, but also some established writers that I respect a great deal - like Adam Troy Castro, Brian Evenson, Alison Littlewood, Helen Marshall, Paul Tremblay and others. Seriously, can there ever be too much weird fiction in your life? First edition, Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket, Seller Inventory # 62469
