2.0

Really great promise in the first few stories in this anthology, but it very quickly loses it's way and becomes a difficult slog of little-to-nothing of worth occurring throughout the rest of the stories. This causes the initial mystery and tension to evaporate and it was ultimately a very frustrating read.
