Limbus, Inc.: Book III by Jonathan Maberry, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Brett J. Talley, David Liss, Laird Barron, Seanan McGuire
5.0
I picked this up thinking it was a short story collection with some of my favorite, so I could easily set it down between authors.
WRONG.
True, it has novelettes, but in between is an overarching meta-plot, a detective tracking down the killer of a young woman he can't even identify.
If you're down on your luck, if you seem to have no way out, that's when you'll get the card: LIMBUS. An employment agency with a phone number and the phrase, "Do you feel lucky?" You have to sign the DNA and contract before they'll tell you your job.
The vignettes follow the stories of a few luckless people who end up signing on.
Limbus is a world of bio-tech, time travel, elder gods, and The Corporation.
I'd highly recommend this book--only not just before bedtime.
