innerweststreetlibrarian's review against another edition

challenging dark mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

This is a disturbing bunch of weird, creepy, dark and sometimes sexy stories. Lots of monsters, of the human and the fantasy kind. The one I liked best was about the hotel cleaner in Hollywood who tended the fish ponds.
