This volume introduces many new authors who have yet to make their mark. There are 21 stories, with biographies and illustrations. I have endeavored to assemble the most exciting, imaginative, well-plotted and well-written stories from the many I received. I believe that this anthology showcases some of the best, most talented new horror and dark fantasy writers from around the World. There are contributions from new writers in England, Scotland, Wales, the USA, Canada, Australia, and Russia. The subjects covered range across the whole of the genre spectrum, and all have one thing in common; they illustrate what has always been the cornerstone of these volumes: Horror with a Heart. I am very pleased with the reaction from two of my favourite respected authors working in the horror and dark fantasy genre today. Having read the stories, they commented as follows: "Welcome to the next generation of horror authors! Trevor Denyer, who over the decades has published stories by upcoming writers now considered among the best in the genre, in this anthology has collected tales by writers just starting out, but who are sure to become prominent in the years ahead. Hellfire Crossroads 7 is a preview of who we'll be reading 5, 10, 15 years from now. Highly recommended." Ralph Robert Moore - Author of 'Father Figure', and many short story collections. 13 appearances in BLACK STATIC."An impressive collection of dark stories from writers who will be new to most of us, and whom we should be hearing from in the future. From tales of psychological darkness to ones of wartime guilt and family trauma to present-day fears, there is plenty for any horror reader." Gary Couzens 'Blood Spectrum' film reviewer for BLACK STATIC. Author of 'Second Contact' and 'Out Stack and Other Places'.This is the second volume to be available both as a print and e-book.
