The Year's Best Dark Fantasy and Horror 2018 Edition

About the Editor

Paula Guran is an editor, reviewer, and typesetter. In an earlier life she produced weekly email newsletter DarkEcho (winning two Stokers, an IHG award, and a World Fantasy Award nomination), edited magazine Horror Garage (earning another IHG and a second World Fantasy nomination), and has contributed reviews, interviews, and articles to numerous professional publications

This is, if she’s counted correctly, the forty-fifth anthology Guran has edited. Instead of what had become the usual multiple titles per calendar year, it is the only anthology that will appear from her in 2018. That’s probably a refreshing break for most people. She’s got mixed feelings about it herself. After more than a decade of full-time editing, she’s now freelancing. Guran enjoys the variety but regrets the lack of a monthly paycheck.

She has four fabulous grandchildren she would be happy to tell you about.

Guran still lives in Akron, Ohio, but has moved from the crumbling family manse into a condominium apartment. Even though she got rid of a great many books, she still has far too many.
