The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror: 2011 by Paula Guran
4.0
Overall a good book with interesting stories. I am a sucker for horror collections. The stories were at their best when they subverted traditional tropes. The more standard zombie/werewolf stories were uninteresting.
The highlight of the collection is definitely MLN Hanover's "Hurt Me", which features just an amazing protagonist and incredibly vivid writing. I'll definitely check out more of his work.
And of course George R. R. Martin has the longest story by far, but it's serviceable, if probably unintelligible if you're not familiar with his fantasy world.
