This is some exciting news I just found on Revelations official Facebook page. It appears that Clive will be writing a brand new short story and providing the cover art for a new horror anthology by Steve Jones called Horrorology: The Lexicon of Fear. The book will released on October 1st, 2015 through Jo Fletcher Books. We’ll let you know more as news comes in!

The story synopsis goes as follows – 

Amongst the shelves in the Library of the Damned is a book that is the most terrible of them all: The Lexicon of Fear. Now reprinted for your pleasure – and horror – are some of the secrets contained within.

In the Library of the Damned, hidden away amongst that vast depository of ancient wisdom, there exists a certain bookcase where the most decadent, the most blasphemous of tomes sit upon a dusty shelf.
And amongst those titles – that should never be named – there is one volume that is the most terrible, the most hideous of them all.That book is the Lexicon of Fear.
But, long ago, some of its pages were ripped from the binding and spirited away by a lowly student of the ancient science of Horrorology, who was determined the secrets contained therein would one day be shared with the world.
And now that day has come. These are the words thatcomprise the very language of horror itself, and the tales they tell are notfor the fainthearted. But be warned: once you have read them, there is noturning back. Soon, you too will know the true meanings of fear…

Featuring stories from Clive Barker, Robert Shearman, Michael Marshall Smith, Pat Cadigan, Mark Samuels, Joanne Harris, Muriel Gray, Kim Newman, Ramsey Campbell, Reggie Oliver, Angela Slatter and Lisa Tuttle.

Horrorology will be available in hardback at £20.00 and as an E-book (price to follow).
