The Dark Country

Etchison's fiction is justly famous for its creepy ambience, and explores the terrain mapped out by Philip K. Dick, Thomas Harris, and any number of black and white horror movies. This is his legendary first collection, carefully corrected by the author for this new edition. The title story won both the World Fantasy Award and the British Fantasy Award in 1982, the first time a single work received both major awards. Contents include sixteen groundbreaking stories and an introduction by Ramsey Campbell.

Editorial Reviews

Stephen King

Dennis Etchison is one hell of a fiction writer, and if you have not read his volume of stories, The Dark Country, you have missed one of the great volumes in our peculiar field. The stories are not just good; they are without exception exciting, and in some cases genuinely great.”

Kirkus Reveiws

An above-average collection…for fanciers of dark fantasy/horror with heavy contemporary overtones.”
