Reasonable mix of stories. I finished it about a week ago and a couple of the stories still poke at my memory every so often, especially Joe Lansdale's The Crawling Sky

most of them were 1/5s and 2/5s for me, although they were not really bad, just very forgettable - and many not really horror, but just ”new weird”. There were a few 5s, though, that raised my overall impression, like those from Joel Lane, Tim Lebbon or Joe Lansdale.
Not a bad book, and still rather enjoyable as a past time, yet not at all a memorable one.

Adequate collection of new horror (with one exception, a newly discovered work from the '40s). The stories are well written, but none of them really scared me, some barely seemed to fit the definition at all.
