In October 2021 we presented the Night Shade Best Horror Bundle featuring editor Ellen Datlow‘s long-running Best Horror of the Year fiction anthology series from Night Shade Books. For more than three decades Ellen Datlow, winner of multiple Hugo, Bram Stoker, and World Fantasy awards, has kept her finger on the racing pulse of the horror genre, introducing readers to writers whose tales can unnerve, frighten, and terrify. This all-new offer brings you 13 Best Horror anthologies with stories from Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Tanith Lee, Joe R. Lansdale, Catherynne M. Valente, Kim Newman, and dozens more top authors — five thousand pages of bone-chilling reading for an unbeatable bargain price. (See below for the contents of each volume.)
Our Best Horror Sampler (retail value $50) included the first two Best Horror of the Year volumes (from 2009 and 2010) and the tenth-anniversary retrospective Best of the Best Horror of the Year, with stories from the first ten volumes in the series. 
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our Complete Collection with ten more titles — Best Horror of the Year Volumes Three through Twelve (2011-2020) — worth an additional $160.
Ten percent of each payment (after gateway fees) went to this offer’s pandemic-related charity, Direct Relief. Direct Relief gets protective gear and critical care medications to health workers, with emergency deliveries to medical facilities across the US and Canada and to regional response agencies around the world.
