3.0

An ambitious and interesting anthology that contains a variety of outlandish, sexy, funny, terrifying stories. While there are plenty of gems in here by both well-known (Slatsky, Tanzer, Pugmire) and less familiar writers that make the whole book worthwhile, I felt that some stories fell flat, either under-utilising the subject matter or simply using it as a vehicle for some uninspired pornographic weirdness. Which there's not necessarily anything wrong with, but a story that's simply an extended sex scene without rhyme or reason is inevitably forgettable.
