The stories vary between gripping and borderline unreadable, sadly primarily the latter. A good number of the stories rely too heavily on Reagan/Bush-era shock factor, which is horribly dated and uninteresting in 2018.

3.0

Mixed bag of stories. Some of them were really great; some of them just weren't my thing. A couple were downright bewildering (and not in a good way).

My favorites:

-"Rainy Season" by Stephen King
-"Say Hello, Mister Quigley" by J. Michael Straczynski
-"Salvation" by Lawrence Person
-"Murder Mysteries" by Neil Gaiman
-"Dark Embrace" by James Van Hise

Many of the stories in this book were very fun to read, all of them being fairly enjoyable in their own sense. Some stories though, were a bit tough to get through and I found myself grinding through them to get to the next one. I highly recommend this book especially for people like myself who just got into reading and wanted to find some different authors, this is a quick way to get a snapshot of their various writing styles and genre.
