A mixed bag of stories with an alcoholic theme.
Some of the stories in this volume are amazing, the literary equivalent of a bottle of Kraken or a pint of Sierra Nevada. Others are more like Coors Light. Luckily, the good stories are so good that they make this volume well worth purchasing and reading.
Some highlights for me included ‘Pink Passion’ by Jeff Strand, a cocktail of blood and hilarity; ‘The Drinking Horn’ by Christine Morgan, a Viking-themed tale that needs to be skolled; ‘Braineaters in the Mist’ by Kozeniewski, a cheeky noirish tipple; and ‘Whiskey to the Wound’ by Rachel Nussbaum, a blood-fueled bender of a story. This is just the tip of the ice cube though, and there were at least three other good ones floating around in there that made for a pretty tasty punch overall.
