Lost Signals by Lori Michelle, Max Booth III
3.0
3.5 stars
Interesting book design () but ultimately, like most short story anthologies, an uneven read. Some of these stories I strongly disliked, especially the overly gory stories.
My favorites of the bunch:
The Givens Sensor Board by Josh Malerman (also the author of Bird Box, which I've been meaning to check out)
Rosabelle, Believe by Amanda Hard (that ending!! I read this story at midnight, right before bed, and that was a mistake)
The Night Wire by H. F. Arnold (originally published in 1926)
Armageddon Baby by John C. Foster (my absolute favorite of the bunch - weird, supernatural depictions of native peoples aside, this was just the right level of unsettling and gory)
