They're full of short horror stories. I like short horror stories but they weren't catching my attention.

Most of these stories were garbage wrapped in a shiny gold wrapper stamped with 'inclusive'. However, a few notable mentions are Idiot Girls, Where the Lovelight Gleams, and The Asylum. These stars are for them.
Unfortunately 3 decent stories out of 25 a good anthology does not make. If you're going to pander to me, at least make the content quality instead of just performative drivel.

A good collection of some great stories. As with every anthology of different writers I read, there were some better and some worse, and at least one that I skipped almost entirely. But overall the quality was good and the topics were interesting.
My favorite stories from the collection were Idiot Girls by Jennifer McMahon, Kalkriese by Larissa Glasser, Where the Lovelight Gleams by Michael Thomas Ford, and What Blood Hath Wrought by S.A. Cosby.
