The other Dark Matter anthology is one of my favorite anthologies, if not the favorite. This one did not move me as much. I started reading it months ago to have fiction on hand to sparingly read between all the nonfiction- something I could pick up and put down for some time. It did serve that purpose well. I do like that it had a few essays following the stories like the other Dark Matter anthology did. That is a nice touch. I did really enjoy a couple of the stories, most were ok, and some of them were kinda bad, I hate to say. That said there are some great authors who make appearances in this, including in an interview in the end with some of the greatest Black scifi authors of all time. Worth reading once. Not sure if I will read it again.
