3.0

An eclectic mix of short stories written in a range of differing styles and modes. Some stand-out gems in here, but my main criticism is that the topic "weird fiction" has a definite meaning in my mind and I felt that a whole heap of these stories didn't fit that topic at all. Really this is a personal taste thing, but a lot of these stories felt too mundane to fall into the category of weird fiction.
