3.0
Although I didn't enjoy this one as much as the SF stories (gore and horror actually horrifies me, in a usually unpleasant way that I don't over-enjoy much, though thrillers and psychological suspense are really enjoyable - so about half of these just made me queasy).
This is my failing, by the way, not the stories. Horror fans? This one is a great collection for you. I'm just a wuss. Still, there's something to be said even for a wuss like me in these tales! The story with the pink triangle from Nazi Germany made me shiver down to the bone, and the opening story about a homophobic gay man whose arm ends up trapped under another man post coitus, and he feels he must eat his way out of this trap had me just about ready to vomit.
