Ellen Datlow has just announced that she will edit a year’s best horror anthology series for Night Shade Books. Night Shade have picked up the first two volumes in the series, to be published in 2009 and 2010 respectively.  I’m delighted by this and happy to welcome Ellen to the Night Shade clan.  Ellen’s a good friend and a brilliant editor, so it’s wonderful news that she’ll still be editing a year’s best horror series.
