podanotherjessi's review against another edition

dark slow-paced

3.75

To be honest, I think the two editors of this collection had different ideas of what they wanted, and it made for a more eclectic collection than I prefer. Some whimsical, some dark, some close to the original, some barely recognizable. But overall, it's an interesting series of stories. As is usually the case, some are much better than others.
