As par for the course with a fine anthology, I've discovered both new authors I want to read more from (Sharma), and familiar authors I need to read more from (I'm convinced Stephen Graham Jones is mocking me at this point). There's no reason why fans of variety won't want to pick this up." --Steve Pattee, HorrorTalk.com "Are you ready for some chills and thrills?
