This was a fun collection. I'm a sucker for anything aquatic themed, so reading a collection of horror stories about sea creatures was a delight. As with many short story anthologies/collections, some stories were better than others. However, even the ones I didn't particularly enjoy were still well written. My top 3 favs were "Test Drive" by Mike Norris, "Crawlies" by David Dunwoody, and "Piraya" by Tim Curran.

Hits and misses, as with most anthologies.

If you are a fan of this genre the book is for you, but it wont be converting anyone.
