Danse Macabre by Stephen King and the Introduction to Dark Descent, ed. by David Hartwell

The introduction to Dark Descent talks more specifically about short horror fiction than Danse Macabre does. Where Danse Macabre wanders all over the horror-scape, from movies to novels and occasionally to short stories, Dark Descent (naturally, being the introduction to a volume of short stories) talks about short fiction and suggests the best horror stories are stories, not novels or movies.
