Advance Praise for

Exotic Gothic 2

 

 

‘With its stellar lineup of international talent, Exotic Gothic 2: New Tales of Taboo is the must-read anthology of the year.’

--F. Paul Wilson, author of Jack: Secret Histories

 

‘The great power and appeal of this Gothic are found in its ability to reach directly into our subconscious minds, and to the precariousness and uncertainty of life itself.’

--Thomas Tessier, author of Rapture

 

‘Exotic Gothic 2 is a new anthology of gothic fiction to scare the tutae out of the universe! For those of you who get frightened to close your eyes at night because the boogie man might get you, this anthology of fright fiction will keep you awake - and alive - at least till morning.’

--Witi Ihimaera, author of The Whale Rider

 

‘The concept of a horror anthology structured by world regions is enticing in itself. Danel Olson's first such compilation of exo-terror tales in Exotic Gothic included some of the finest writing in the genre. In this sequel anthology, which is even more focused on unfamiliar territory, the writing is equally fine and each of its locales is well explored for the peculiar horrors they hold. What H. P. Lovecraft did for New England, Exotic Gothic 2: New Tales of Taboo does on a global scale.’

--Thomas Ligotti, author of Teatro Grottesco
