This book made me realize that I have fairly exacting tastes in anthologies that most of them don't meet.
This is not a bad book by any means, and the premise was quite interesting but only a couple of the stories really captured me. I often felt the tone - while generally universally on the dark side - still varied story to story which didn't make for the most cohesive reading experience.
