holley_cornetto's review against another edition
3.0
I enjoyed most of the stories in this collection. If anything, I was disappointed by the lack of female authors included in the collection. Of twenty stories, only four were written by women. Less than a quarter of the book's contents. Surely, we can do better than this.

The best of these are wonderful. The least of them? Well, as Mr. Gaiman says near the end of his:
"It was a story," said December. "I'll say that for it."

I've been plugging away at this one for a while now, because the stories in here are just plain long. I really like Poe's definition of the short story--something you can read in one sitting--and a lot of what's here just doesn't qualify. That said, most of what's here is very good (the contributors list is a veritable Who's Who of my bookcases), so on balance, worth a read. But don't expect it to fly by.
