There were a few stories I enjoyed, but it was odd to read an excerpt of a vampire novel, unrelated to the anthology's Dark Carnival theme, tossed in randomly amongst short stories. In my opinion, the collection would have been stronger, too, if quite a few lesser works had been cut. Why publish drivel next to gems?
