About 5 good stories I liked
Standouts were (badly summarized by me)
Boozeanne, Lemme Be by Vicki Hendricks, a story of a sad squatter who found love and lost it all.
Ride Along by James Hall, a story that felt like Barry but is very much not Barry in a disturbing way. Glad they opened with this one, because there's a serious gap between this one and the rest of the stories I liked.
The Noir Boudoir by Lynne Barrett, the fantastic story of an antiquer ex-cop and an old starlet's estate.
Machete by Barbara Parker, a fun little whodunit with some supernatural flair.
T-Bird by John Bond that's a bit of a poker-themed twist on Double Indemnity. Not perfectly executed, but I liked the idea and the poker metaphors were fun.
