Blurb:
What is this lingering fear of insects, arachnids, arthropods, crustaceans and those that slither… is it a hangover from the survival battles in the savannah or does it go deeper and further back than that in our evolutionary heritage? Unchallenged, the locusts, the maggots, the worms, the flies, the aphids and the termites may consume and destroy all that we have and hold dear. Creeping, slithering, crawling horror, science fiction & fantasy stories by nineteen of today’s top authors.

Blurb:

The oceans have long been places of danger, mystery and horror. From ancient times there has been the terror that a trip might lead to edge of the world and the nameless place beyond its edge. There have been the strange lights of St. Elmo’s Fire. The sunken cities of Atlantis and Lyonesse. The Sargasso sea entrapping ships. The Bermuda Triangle. And within the ocean’s depths sea creatures both real and unreal. The great white whale in Moby Dick and the giant octopus in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The oceans beckon us… and repel us. And storytellers have used the sea as a basis for ghost and horror stories down the centuries. In this anthology there are stories about phantom ships and their phantom sailors, weird encounters with spirits, a vengeful sea sprites, and sea serpents, and all manner of horror below decks. So, readers, take a passage with us to the weird realms of the benighted oceans!

STORIES OF TERROR & THE SUPERNATURAL

Jim’s beautiful wife Viola is dead, but she had hidden a terrible secret… and now the cat he had brought home for her is behaving very strangely…

Mary and Johnny were hoping for a lovely weekend in the bed-and-breakfast by the sea, but there was something not quite right about their room… definitely not right at all!

Agnes was so annoying that her sister Elsie just had to kill her. But that was not the end of it, for Agnes has returned… or has she?

Richard Davis was the story editor for the BBC’s LATE NIGHT HORROR series and the editor of the landmark THE YEAR’S BEST HORROR STORIES, as well as many other horror anthologies, including the TANDEM HORROR, SPACE, SPECTRE
and ARMADA SCI-FI series.

His short stories were widely published, but THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES is the first time his fiction has been collected in one volume.

The book also contains two rare essays by the author.
