Screams from the Dark: 29 Tales of Monsters and the Monstrous

Written by Ellen Datlow

Narrated by Eunice Wong, Kaipo Schwab, Rachel L. Jacobs and 5 more

A bone-chilling anthology from legendary horror editor Ellen Datlow, Screams from the Dark contains twenty-nine all-original tales about monsters.

From werewolves and vampires, to demons and aliens, the monster is one of the most recognizable figures in horror. But what makes something, or someone, monstrous?

Award-winning and up-and-coming authors like Richard Kadrey, Cassandra Khaw, Indrapramit Das, Priya Sharma, and more attempt to answer this question. These all-new stories range from traditional to modern, from mainstream to literary, from familiar monsters to the unknown . . . and unimaginable.

This chilling collection has something to please-and terrify-everyone, so lock your doors, hide under your covers, and try not to scream.
