3.0
Man, it's so hard to rate story collections!
I will say that my favorites were "How to Make Friends in Seventh Grade" by Nick Poniatowski, "Lifeblood" by Jeffrey A. Ricker, and "Beach Blanket Spaceship" by Sandra McDonald. The longest story, "Mysterium Tremendum" by Laird Barron, did not work for me at all. And if you have sexual assault trigger issues, I would skip "The Noise" by Richard Larson, or at least read with care.
