It's been ten years and a million stories since I read these books, and I can promise you that you will not find a better horror anthology out there. Books 1-3 changed my life, literally. The stories are so well written, it's almost magical. Book 4 is not quite as good overall, but there are still some great stories. If you love short horror, pick these up. Don't bother with #5 that just came out. Get the originals.
The Best Horror Fiction Out There
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I have read all four of the Borderlands collection and will say beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is not only the scariest stuff out there, but also cutting-edge fiction at its finest.The stories presented in each collection are intelligent, extremely well-written, and creepy to the extreme. Those who enjoy the standard psychopathic killer yarn will not find what they're looking for here. Instead they'll find a type of horror that takes a time-honored genre and breathes new life into it. Simply outstanding.
Great

Joe R. Landsdale, the master, does it again. It takes brilliance to know brilliance. These people can write. Some of these stories actually made me physically uncomfortable. Try to get it if you can.
The best dark horror anthology in years.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The "Borderlands" Series is the best dark fiction writing I have ever read. Really skirts the edges and pulls no punches but without the traditional horror cliches. Nothing goes bump in the night but after reading these stories a simple bump won't even phase you anymore.
