Horror fiction has long been one of my greatest passions and perhaps the best expression of the form is the short story. For this episode, I gathered a panel to talk about our favorite short stories. So take notes because there are plenty of tales mentioned here you’ll want to read yourself. We talk in detail about 60 or 70 classic horror fiction shorts. Like last October when I gathered a panel for best Horror novels, I put together a panel of experts.

First up is a return guest Laird Barron, who is the award-winning author of many books my favorites being the Isiah Coleridge trilogy.  For many years Laird has been considered one of the best short story authors in the field.

Next up Mary Sangiovanni is an award-winning horror and thriller writer of over a dozen novels, including The Hollower trilogy and The Kathy Ryan series, one time a co-host The Horror Show with Brian Keene and the cosmic horror-themed, Cosmic Shenanigans, and is currently a co-host of The Ghost Writers Podcast.

And then representing readers is my old friend. Marc Rothenberg. He is one of the biggest horror readers I know, but not a writer. He is a judge and is serious when it comes to horror fiction. Of course, I add my personal list as well.
