Fearful Symmetries: An Anthology of Horror by
4.0
Fearful Symmetries is a horror anthology edited by editrix deluxe Ellen Datlow. The former editor-in-chief of the late, lamented OMNI, Datlow has a well-earned reputation as a tastemaker in science fiction, fantasy, and horror anthologies.
Fearful Symmetries doesn't disappoint--I hugely enjoyed it, with only a couple of clunkers (and nothing I actively hated). Outstanding stories include "Will The Real Psycho In This Story Please Stand Up?" by Pat Cadigan, "Bridge of Sighs" by Kaaron Warren, and my personal favorite of this collection, "Ballad of An Echo Whisperer" by Caitlín R. Kiernan. Well worth your while.
Also? Funded with Kickstarter, so she could champion authors whose work she liked.
