Yet another curate’s egg. A few of the stories are exceptional while others are lukewarm or even bland. What is best about these stories is that there is no overarching theme for them. They collect terror from everywhere and present it to the reader.
The really good ones :
•A Really Game Boy by Brian Lumley
•To This Water (Johnstown, Pennsylvania 1889) by Caitlín R. Kiernan
•The Museum on Cyclops Avenue by Harlan Ellison
•Free Dirt by Ray Bradbury
•Self-Made Man by Poppy Z. Brite
•The Wedding Present by Neil Gaiman
•Barking Sands by Richard Christian Matheson (Not as brilliant as the others in the list but still a good one)
Worth a read.

Strong names, weak stories. I only liked one, found a few ok, a few unreadable, most utterly forgettable. I was amazed NOT to like stories from authors I usually love, like Gaiman, Baxter or Ellison.
