Behold!: Oddities, Curiosities and Undefinable Wonders by Ramsey Campbell, Neil Gaiman, Clive Barker

3.0


Picked this up because it won this year's Stoker Award for Best Anthology.

The Stoker Award is for horror, and some of these stories are pretty creepy, but there are also some fantasy stories. The general theme could be "Weird shit happens." Think people turning into cacti. Or hobos looking in mirrors that tell the future.

The big name authors here are Neil Gaiman and Clive Barker. I liked both their stories.

Also especially liked "Fully Boarded" by Ramsey Campbell and "The Shiny Fruit of Our Tomorrows" by Brian Hodge.

Gave this three stars because I never love every story in an anthology. That said, there were none here I actively disliked.
