The Chronicles of Harris Burdick: 14 Amazing Authors Tell the Tales by Chris Van Allsburg

3.0

There were two that were phenomenal: Sherman Alexie (no surprise there) and Cory Doctorow. There were also two that were total garbage farts: John Scieszka and Linda Sue Park. The rest fell somewhere on the spectrum of quite good to mediocre, which is exactly what I expected. None of these stories (or any story based on [b:The Mysteries of Harris Burdick|402114|The Mysteries of Harris Burdick|Chris Van Allsburg|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174447582s/402114.jpg|489077]) will ever live up to the potential of those stories that the original book offered, and to me all the creepy, cryptic, silly magic is ruined in other peoples' efforts.
