My favorite stories were The song of lost voices by Brian Trent, The Garbage Girls by Nick Wolven and The Monster I found in Third Grade by Paul Tobin.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the collection of stories in this issue of the magazine. Most were decent, a couple took my breath away, and while a few weren't to my liking, I read every word of each one -- high praise, since I quickly abandon anything that doesn't immediately grip me.

Now I'm off to look for more work by the authors whose stories I really loved, and that, right there, is the reason I love collections of short stories.

Usually I devour everything in the issue, but this issue had several horror stories, and those are NOT my bag. Which meant skipping them. I understand the occasional horror story in an issue but 3 or 4  is too many IMO for an SF/fantasy magazine.
