{{Unreferenced|date=December 2009}} [[File:Shadows (anthology).jpg|thumb|First edition, cover art by James Starrett]] '''''Shadows''''' was a series of [[horror fiction|horror]] [[anthologies]] edited by [[Charles L. Grant]], published by [[Doubleday (publisher)|Doubleday]] from 1978 to 1991. Grant, a proponent of "quiet horror", initiated the series in order to offer readers a showcase of this kind of fiction. The short stories appearing in the ''Shadows'' largely dispensed with traditional [[Gothic literature|Gothic]] settings, and had very little physical violence. Instead, they featured slow accumulations of dread through subtle omens, mostly taking place in everyday settings. While Grant himself was very adept at this kind of fiction, he contributed no stories to the anthologies, writing only the introductions and author profiles. The first volume in the series won the [[World Fantasy Award|World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology]]. ==Anthology Contents== ===Shadows (first volume)=== Published by Doubleday, 1978 *"Naples" [[Avram Davidson]] (Winner of the [[World Fantasy Award for Best Short Fiction]]) *"The Little Voice" [[Ramsey Campbell]] *"Butcher's Thumb" [[William Jon Watkins]] *"Where All the Songs Are Sad" [[Thomas F.
