As with most anthologies this was a mixed bag. A couple of stories haven’t withstood the test of time and are very dated but there were some gems. My personal favourites were A Dream Cody Had by Nette Hilton and Shift by Janine Burke, and Moonlight Bay by Kate Veitch had a mischievous twist at the end that appealed.
