disasterwarlock's review against another edition
4.0
some short stories i liked better than others (obviously) but all in all a very enjoyable collection.
I think if I had to name favourites I'd say the ones by Derek Landy and Neil Gaiman share the first place - I already love those authors (and doctors) and these stories were just too perfect for my own good. I also really liked the ones by Michael Scott and Philip Reeve.
Just all in all a very good anthology with a lot of interesting concepts that I really enjoyed. Now excuse my while I go battling Dracula in Rapunzels tower.

kayleigh_24's review against another edition
DNF. I've read like four stories, but none of them were (really) good. Mediocre at best. Some plots sound interesting, but because they're short stories, all the stories felt rushed to me. Maybe someday in the (not so near) future I might finish this book, but the idea of dragging myself through another one of these stories sounds like torture to me, so maybe not. Anyway, just watch the show (again) instead.
