Publisher Description:
“Arithmophobia,” n.: The fear of
numbers or mathematics.
Whether you love mathematics or find it
terrifying, this anthology of original tales of terror is sure to send a chill
down your spine. With an unlucky thirteen brand new horror stories and a bonus
poem in case any readers suffer from triskaidekaphobia, these pages combine the
talents of some of the genre’s most experienced award-winning practitioners of
terror and some of the literary world’s most promising new voices.
Featuring contributions by Elizabeth Massie,
Miguel Fliguer, Mike Slater, Patrick Freivald, Liz Kaufman, Damon Nomad, Sarah
Lazarz, Martin Zeigler, Josh Snider, Rivka Crowbourne, Joe Stout, Brian Knight,

These stories tell us of strange and
horrifying new geometries, crazed and violent mathematicians, sentient and
malevolent numbers, and even some new mathematical twists on some classic
monsters. You needn’t be a mathematician to experience these new forms of
mathematical terror, though students of the discipline might recognize some
familiar names and ideas lurking in the shadows.
So pull up a chair, dust off your abacus and
slide rule, and prepare to experience…
Arithmophobia.
