4.0

There are no really weak stories in this collection although some of them are written in a very uncomfortable style and might frighten off the reader - but story ideas for the most part are intriguing.
If you are not sure you are able to survive all 20 of the stories, you can at least taste the jewels of this collection:
Fritz Leiber - A Pail of Air
Raymond Z. Gallun - Seeds of the Dusk
Walter M. Miller, Jr. - Dark Benediction
Alfred Coppel - Last Night of Summer
Robert Sheckley - The Store of the Worlds
