You know for a short story collection with a ton of different authors, this book was actually quite pleasing, only two skips and one story that ended with me rolling my eyes. I picked this up bc I saw Stephen Graham Jones and Carmen Maria Machado were in it, and their stories were some of my favorites as well as the ones by Kassandra Khaw, Richard Kadrey, Kelly Link, and Gemma Files. I didn't know these authors until now but I will be checking out more of their work!
