The Best Weird Horror of 2010 in Review
Friday, December 31, 2010
2010 is very long in the tooth, and ready to pass into the mists of history (or, depending on where you're located, it has already done so). But before the last year is gone and forgotten, I wanted to give one more shout to the best content in the weird and Lovecraftian spheres that cast their shadowy glow over our lives in 2010. Here's what I believe are the best of the best, reviewed or mentioned here this past year.
Best Supernatural Tales
- Literary Remains by R.B. Russell
- The Bleeding Horse and Other Ghost Stories by Brian J. Showers
- Nemonymous Ten: Null Immortalis by D.F. Lewis (Editor)
Best Nightmare Fuel (Non-fiction, Art, Novel, and Short Story Collection)
- The Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Thomas Ligotti
- Tolerance by Chris Mars
- Remember You're a One Ball! by Quentin S. Crisp
- Occultation by Laird Barron
- Pickman's Muse by Robert Cappelleto
- Dirt Dauber by Steven Daniels
- House of Black Wings by David Schmidt
- Tartarus Press
- Hippocampus Press
- Chomu Press
Fortunately, 2010 looks like nothing more than strong foundation for legions of vibrant weirdness poised to enter our world in 2011. More cause than ever for a happy New Year.
