I was disappointed my this book. With all the good authors, I expected it to be better but it wasn't so I stopped wasting my time.

Awful. When I stumbled across this compilation, I was excited because I consider myself a fan of several of these authors. I soon found out my excitement was misplaced. The one star I gave this book was for the one story I actually enjoyed, the Dresden short by Jim Butcher.

*Only reviewing Where Angels Fear Tread, by Sherrilyn Kenyon*
This story made absolutely no sense to me. I am pretty sure I've read similar reviews. It was like pages were missing, or that I'd somehow found the first few pages of a concept, rather than a whole story that was published by itself in an anthology. Hopefully it's just meant to explain the existence of Seraphs.

I finally got this one back from the library so I could do my review. Yay!
The Ungrateful Dead by Kelley Armstrong was pretty nice.
Mr. Bear by Joe R. Landsdale was a bit disturbing?
Hell in a Handbasket by Lucien Soulban was pretty amusing.
The Eldritch Pastiche from Beyond the Shadow of Horror by Christopher Welch was pretty funny.
Elvis Presley and the Bloodsucker Blues by Matt Venne wasn't really my sort of thing.
No Problem by Don D'Ammassa was kind of funny.
Old School by Mark Onspaugh and the Sound of Blunder weren't really that interesting to me.
An Evening with Al Gore by Charlaine Harris I loved.
Dear Prudence by Steven Savile didn't interest me much.
A Good Psycho Is Hard to Find by Will Lundwigsen was pretty amusing, I liked it.
High Kicks and Misdemeanors by Janet Berliner was pretty odd.
PR Problems by Eric James Stone was pretty nice.
Where Angels Fear to Tread by Sherrilyn Kenyon wasn't all that interesting for me.
A Very Special Girl by Mike Resnik was pretty good; I liked it a lot.
Love Seat Solitare by D. L. Snell, I Know Who You Ate Last Summer by Nancy Holder, Bitches of the Night by Nancy Kilpatrick, The Bell...FROM HELL!!! by Jeff Strand; none of those were interesting to me.
Dead Hand by Sharn McCrumb was interesting, I liked it.
Day Off by Jim Butcher was hilarious; I liked it a lot.
Overall, the book was pretty varied, but there were some stories I just absolutely loved, so it's a pretty good book.

The majority of these stories weren't worth the waste of time and make me glad I got this from the library or I'd be wanting my money back. 3 of the stories is why it got 2 stars other than that I'd start demanding for negative votes.

A collection of short stories billed as horror with a sense of humor. As with most collections, some stories were really good and some not so much. Some were steeped in their backstories, which I don't know, making them somewhat inaccessible. Still if you like some of these authors, they are worth checking out in short story form, notably Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden.

This is a fun little anthology all about love, lust, vampires, and werewolves. Some big A listers in it, like Jim Butcher and Charlaine Harris, so its a good read no matter how you slice it.
Nothing really notable to say about this one. Too many stories to keep straight after so long, but I do remember that I loved the Dresden story with the magical parasites that turned Harry's tennage lycanthrope friends into bundles of raging lust and hormones...well...moreso than warrented for being a teenager.
No one jumped out at me to follow, as I already knew most of the authors in here and already know if I like them enough to follow or not. All in all a fun little something something to get your heart's blood next valentine.
