The Best Horror of the Year: Volume One by Ellen Datlow
4.0
This was a good collection. A lot of good pieces and a few fantastic ones.
Cargo by E. Michael Lewis was good.
If Angels Fight by Richard Bowes was interesting and good.
The Clay Party by Steve Duffy was one I read earlier, it's a very good story.
Penguins of the Apocalypse by William Browning Spencer was outstandingly creepy.
Esmeralda: the First Book Depository Story by Glen Hirshberg was good.
The Hodag by Trent Hergenrader was also good.
Very Low-Flying Aircraft by Nicholas Royle is one I've read before. It didn't do much for me the first time.
When the Gentlemen Go By by Margaret Ronald was absolutely beautiful.
The Lagerstätte by Laird Barron didn't really stick with me.
Harry and the Monkey by Euan Harvey was beautifully shivery and wonderful.
Dress Circle by Miranda Siemienowicz was ok? I don't think I got it.
The Rising River by Daniel Kaysen was good.
Sweeney Among the Straight Razors by JoSelle Vanderhooft was a poem and I guess it's ok?
Loup-Garou by R.B. Russell was good.
Girl in Pieces by Graham Edwards was not what I expected at all, and I won't call it horror. It was urban fantasy. It was good though.
It Washed Up by Joe R. Lansdale was very short.
The Thirteenth Hell by Mike Allen was another poem. It was good.
The Goosle by Margo Lanagan was probably good but I didn't like it.
Beach Head by Daniel LeMoal was good and brutal.
The Man from the Peak by Adam Golaski was good.
The Narrows by Simon Bestwick was good, although I didn't like the ending too much.
Cargo by E. Michael Lewis was good.
If Angels Fight by Richard Bowes was interesting and good.
