While I was working on the Shirley Jackson Award Nomination list, I encountered an anthology called Exotic Gothic 2. It proved difficult to get a hold of, Amazon only had used copies and it seems the one source of new copies is the publisher: Ash-Tree Press.
When I saw that the first and second volumes were still available and that the website listed the short horror stories collected inside, I knew I had to post them in this weekend’s anthology spotlight.

Exotic Gothic: Forbidden Tales from Our Gothic WorldEditor: Olson, Danel |
|
|
In the old gothic, nothing scared so much as a touch of the cold and the foreign in the midst of the familiar, for it begged the question, ‘What has become of the world we knew?’ The twenty-three stories in Exotic Gothic ask this question differently: ‘What has become of the world we know?’ These stories are concerned with the here and now, and demonstrate how today’s international Gothicists are reimagining the traditional setting, mood, and characters of their British, German and French predecessors. You will not be safe here as you roam the world and travel from Tanzania to Zanzibar, Mali, Sumatra, Japan, Iraq, Russia, Australia, England, Scotland, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, America, and Canada. On this tour, the uncanny is everywhere. Isn’t that the attraction? Table of Contents:
