When Things Get Dark by Ellen Datlow

adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

Some good stories but a bit of a flop in my opinion. Does make me appreciate Shirley Jackson even more because no one quite does it like her. Skinder’s Veil and Special Meal were pretty good but almost all of the rest were forgettable and boring.
