'A stunning collection that could give you goosebumps even in the height of summer.' --Leeds Guide

Product Description

Where does fear lurk in 21st century life? In a technological age hardwired to keep information flowing and the unknown at bay, what irrationalities still linger for horror writers to tap into? This anthology - the first in a new series from Comma - offers 15 very different responses to the question. From ancient curses kept alive in internet chat-rooms to malevolent children's TV characters acquiring lives of their own, Phobic shines a torch into the unlit areas of the modern subconscious and suggests the more we know, the more we realise how worried we really should be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed bag of modern horrors 3 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
Picked this up for the Jeremy Dyson story after seeing his Ghoststories in the west end. His story was good, but not the strongest. There are - as in most collections of shorts - good and bad. A couple are a bit self-indulgent, but I think there are some really good stories here that have me looking out for future novels by some of the writers involved.
A great way to sample some quality modrn horror-writing

4.0 out of 5 stars Escaping the "Marenghi" 4 July 2007
Format:Paperback
An interesting collection of authors if not stories. As far as the Matthew Holness story is concerned fans of "Garth Merengai / Garth Marenghi" will be dissappointed, however readers looking for a modern zeitguist of our fears will be richly rewarded. I Look forward to a full length novel from him but wonder if he can escape from his label as schlock horror dreamweaver...
Stories by Paul Magys and Nicholas Royle are also worthy of a strong mention.

2.0 out of 5 stars One or two good stories 19 Dec 2012
By Miguel Ivo Cruz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
One or two good stories, others trying too hard, others ugly, violent and gory. All modern though. Not good enough.
