The Best Horror of the Year Volume 1 by Ellen Datlow

3.0

This book took me a ridiculously long time to read. There was nothing wrong with it, it just didn't grab my attention. "Penguins of the Apocalypse" will probably stick with me, and not only because of the absurd title. I expect "Esmeralda" and "Very Low-Flying Aircraft" will, too. But other than that, none of the other eighteen stories really spoke to me, and there were even a couple that I flat-out disliked instead of just being indifferent.
