Some great stories here, from big names as well as lesser-known authors. Lots of non-white / non-male voices and perspectives, yay! The collection tends toward the dark/weird: urban fantasy, fairytales with a modern twist, nods to Lovecraft and Stephen King.

Favorites: In the Lost Lands (George R. R. Martin), Moon Glass (Megan N. Moore), Lenora of the Low (Marina J. Lostetter), Undying Love (Jackie Kessler), The Grenade Garden (Michael Moorcock), Sand and Teeth (Carmen Tudor), The Seas of Heaven (David Parish-Whittaker)

Duds: Green They Were, and Golden-Eyed (Alan Dean Foster), Mountain Spirit (Piers Anthony), Dancing with the Mouse King (Carrie Vaughn), Loincloth (Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta)
