Bloodstones by Amanda Pillar
5.0
I can't comment on a bunch of individual stories, since they're eligible for the Aurealis Awards and I am a judge. And another caveat: I have a story in this one! My general comments are for the rest of the stories in the anthology.
Hands down, one of the best anthologies I have read in latter years. So much good writing (and I don't doubt amazing editing - Amanda Pillar is an incredible editor who works extremely hard at getting every last shiny facet out of a story), with a mix of some really unusual mythologies inspiring some utterly unforgettable stories.
If you like mythology as a basis for fiction, even if you normally shy away from horror, you should read this. Now.
