Delirium’s annual anthology-series spotlighting the talents of tomorrow continues with New Dark Voices II. Edited by Brian Keene, NDVII features three brand-new, terrifying, genre-bending novellas by underground favorite Ronald Damien Malfi, the critically acclaimed Nick Mamatas, and hot Australian writer Brett McBean.
“Sins Of The Father” by Brett McBean
When Tony Christopher returns home after a few months away, he expects to find his family and friends waiting, his beloved farming town of Gainesville unchanged. What he finds is quiet streets and empty houses. A strange metallic smell in the air. An ominous storm building. And Tony will uncover the shocking truth of the missing townsfolk.
“Eliminate the Improbable” by Nick Mamatas
Ever watch a detective show on TV? The sleuth hefts a flashlight and shines it into the camera. He peers into the swirling fog or the dark. But he’s not looking for some criminal, he’s not looking at a murder victim. He’s looking at you. And you are about to disappear. The people of Manhattan are vanishing — and just maybe being replaced by exact doubles and its up to two amateur detectives, both high out of their minds and one of them nameless, to solve the mystery. The only problem is that when you eliminate the improbable…only the impossible remains.
“Borealis” by Ronald Damien Malfi
On a routine crabbing expedition in the Bering Sea, Charlie Mears and the rest of the men aboard the trawler Borealis discover something unbelievable: a young woman running naked along the ridge of a passing iceberg. Just as the trawler pulls alongside the floe, the woman collapses into the snow, unconscious. The girl is rescued and brought aboard the boat, where she is cared for by the crew…only to infect them with a poison that brings about unimaginable ruination.

Those stories actually sound pretty interesting. count me in!
Pre-ordered. Also purchased the first New Dark Voices while I was at it. I’m gonna end up living on the streets but at least I’ll have lots of badass books.
These do sound interesting. I like the cover, as well. Ditto, on the count me in!
I have nothing to contribute but:

Coolest thing is the book is made entirely out of Spam.
