This was a really fun collection and it makes me want to read more Shirley Jackson. My favorite stories were "In the Deep Woods; The Light is Different There" by Seanan McGuire, "Something Like Living Creatures" by John Langan, "Hag" by Benjamin Percy, "A Trip to Paris" by Richard Kadrey, "Refinery Road" by Stephen Graham Jones, "Pear of Anguish" by Gemma Files, "Sooner or Later, Your Wife Will Drive Home" by Genevieve Valentine, "Tiptoe" by Laird Barron, and "Skinder's Veil" by Kelly Link. That's like half the stories in this collection, which is a real win for these types of books with so many different authors :)
