5.0

Leans more towards the dark fantasy side then the horror side. All of the stories in this anthology are good. Which is saying something! Usually when you read an anthology like this one its a mix, some stories are good, some are bad, a few are great. Every story in this anthology is good if not great. There is a good mix of different writing styles and all the tales kept my interest. I especially enjoyed "Down Where Sound Becomes Blunt" about mermaids and secrets as well as "Honey" about an old woman living in the exclusion zone near Chernobyl.
