'Will burrow under your skin and live forever in your darkest dreams' Bust
Joyce Carol Oates assembles a spectacular cast to explore, subvert and reinvent one of horror's most visceral of subgenres. Focusing on distortions of the human body, the fifteen short stories of A Darker Shade will delight, disgust and shock you.
From the metaphysical horror of a snail trapped in the body of a young office worker, to a woman cursed to dance endlessly, her body ravaged and torn, these are stories that confront the inextricable link between physical and mental terror.

Margaret Atwood, Raven Leilani, Lisa Tuttle, Tananarive Due, Joyce Carol Oates, Megan Abbott, Aimee Bender, Cassandra Khaw, Lisa Lim, Elizabeth Hand, Valerie Martin, Sheila Kohler, Joanna Margaret and Aimee LaBrie, and Yumi Dineen Shiroma.
