Black Water 2: More Tales of the Fantastic

I stumbled upon Alberto Manguel's first anthology of fantastic literature, BLACKWATER (sadly, out of print now), when a friend gave me her well-worn copy. Five years later, the book was almost in shreds, and I was searching for another that was as eclectic, as multi-cultural, and (most importantly) as unsettling. My search ended only when Manguel published a sequel to his brilliant first anthology. Stories here range from the magical to the sublime, from the horrific to the subtly creepy. And they're from all over the world. Buy it, turn down the lights, and prepare to be mesmerized. (And join me in a hearty cry for the publishers to bring back the original BLACKWATER, as well!)
