I read about half of this. I picked it up at the library thinking it would get me into the mood for Halloween, but all these authors wrote stories that were about edgy witches, and tried to change your idea of what "witch" meant, which is fine but far from what is advertised. I liked a few of the stories even if they weren't actually about witches, particularly Diana Wynne Jones's story as she's one of my favorite authors. The rest felt pretty random and often poorly written or structured, and for me they failed their purpose.
