4.0

Probably one of the strongest anthologies I've ever read in a really long time. I literally have no idea who the writers are (well, I know Hal Duncan, but that's about it), but I must look out for their work in the future.

"Mysterium Tremendum" by Laird Barron is actually one of my favourites: I can't even tell you how it works, but it reminds me a bit of M.R. James's stories (except gay, and with a lot of violence). I slept with the lights on, I'm not even ashamed to admit. :P
