I always struggle with anthologies. They're such wonderful selections of different authors, but it's because of this that you can't love them all equally, isn't it? (Maybe it's just me, but I don't think you're likely to love every single story in a collection of so many different voices.) I really enjoyed some of the stories while other didn't work for me, but I do think that's normal with anthologies *shrugs*
If you love horror, then you *will* find new favourite authors in this, and I strongly recommend it. It's a great selection of many different styles and 'levels' of horror, so even if you're a coward like me you'll be fine. And with proceeds going to the NHS, there's really no reason not to try it!
