An enjoyable collection overall, although many of the stories seemed to be much more just fantasy rather than horror. The stories tend toward the thought-provoking without many that are actually frightening.
"The Shadows, Kith and Kin" - Joe Landsdale *** A view inside the mind of a mass murderer. Interesting, but not really new. "The Souls of Drowning Mountain" - Jack Cady ** The dead return to a mining town. I didn't get much out of this. "The Other Grace" - Holly Phillips *** A girl named Grace suddenly loses all memory of who she is. "Sitting Tenant" - Nicholas Royle *** A man makes a disturbing discovery about his new house. "The Cape" - Joe Hill **** A boy discovers that his superhero cape actually allows him to fly. "La Peau Verte" - Caitlin Kiernan *** Fairies "A Very Little Madness Goes a Long Way" - M. Rickert *** An evil force attacks an angel unaware of her powers. "There's a Hole in the City" - Richard Bowes **** 9/11 brings ghosts of past tragedies back to New York. "Northwest Passage" - Barbara Roden **** An ancient force haunts an isolated section of woods. "Proboscis" - Laird Barron ** Bizarre events near the Mima Mounds in Washington. "Haeckel's Tale" - Clive Barker **** A necromancer helps satisfy a woman with strange sexual tastes. Good gross-out story. "Lost" - Jeff VanderMeer ** A man depressed over losing his wife travels to another world. "Unblinking" - Ramsey Campbell *** A professor becomes obsessed with his strange neighbor "Real People Slash" - Nick Mamatas *** A writer uncovers an alien conspiracy to take over the world. "Fair Exchange" - Michael Marshall Smith **** A thief finds a piece of stone that exerts a strange attraction on him. A good Cthulhu-related story. "This Hand, Waving" - Simon Owens ** A father saves the hand of his dead son. "The Call of Farther Shores" - David Niall Wilson *** A bowsprit from an old ship holds the memories of a sailor's doomed love. ( )
