Duchové jsou všude kolem nás. Duše zemřelých přicházející z druhého břehu jsou od nepaměti součástí našich mýtů a náboženství. K nejsilnějším a nejpůsobivějším představám lidské fantazie patří přízraky a zjevení z onoho světa zastřeného závojem smrti. Ellen Datlowová nám předkládá výbor dosud nevydaných, původních duchařských příběhů, při nichž čtenáře bude příjemně mrazit strachem. Požádala své oblíbené spisovatele, aby se zaměřili na příběhy vyvolávající hrůzu nebo nervozitu, které přimějí čtenáře nechat svítit lampičku, až půjdou spát. Spisovatelé, kteří vyhověli jejímu přání, představují hvězdnou skupinu vynikajících vypravěčů, osvědčených mistrů slova: Ramsey Campbell, Jeffrey Ford, Charles L. Grant, Glen Hirshberg, Kathe Kojaová, Tanith Leeová, Kelly Linková, Sharyn McCrumbová, Joyce Carol Oatesová, Lucius Shephard a Gahan Wilson. Strašidelně skvělí spisovatelé. Každý z nich napsal unikátní povídku naprosto odlišnou od všeho, co už bylo napsáno. A všichni vespolek vyvolali tak temná kouzla, že zcela jistě vzbudí děs nebo přinejmenším neklid i v těch nejotrlejších čtenářích.

With original stories by Jeffrey Ford, Pat Cadigan, Elizabeth Bear, Margo Lanagan, and othersFrom Del Rey Books and award-winning editor Ellen Datlow, two of the most respected names in science fiction and fantasy, comes a collection of fifteen all-new short stories, plus a science fiction novella, that could count as a virtual “best of the year” anthology. Here you will find slyly twisted alternate histories, fractured fairy tales, topical science fiction, and edgy urban fantasy. In “Daltharee,” World Fantasy Award-winning author Jeffrey Ford spins a chilling tale of a city in a bottle–and the demented genius who put it there. In “Sonny Liston Takes the Fall,” John W. Campbell Award-winning author Elizabeth Bear pens a poignant and eerie requiem for the heavyweight forever associated with his controversial loss to Cassius Clay. From hot new writer Margo Lanagan comes “The Goosle,” a dark, astonishing take on Hansel and Gretel. In the novella “Prisoners of the Action,” Paul MccAuley and Kim Newman take a trip down a rabbit hole that leads to a Guantanamo-like prison whose inmates are not just illegal but extraterrestrial. Many of the writers you’ll recognize. Others you may not. But one thing is certain: These stars of today and tomorrow demonstrate that the field of speculative fiction is not only alive and well–it’s better than ever.The Elephant Ironclads • shortfiction by Jason StoddardArdent clouds • shortfiction by Lucy SussexGather • shortfiction by Christopher RoweSonny Liston Takes the Fall • shortfiction by Elizabeth BearNorth American Lake Monsters • shortfiction by Nathan BallingrudAll Washed Up While Looking for a Better World • shortfiction by Carol EmshwillerSpecial Economics • novelette by Maureen F.
