Inconsistent.As expected with compilations, the writing was inconsistent. I loved a couple of the stories - picked up a couple of new authors I want to investigate. There were several I abandoned even though they were short stories! Yes, they really were that bad.Toni
I wasn't expecting the amount of what I would consider science fiction in this book, but that makes me glad. I'm not the biggest fan of horror, and while I didn't find all of the stories great, it was a solid collection.
I didn’t find this as strong as the first dark Dreams anthology, but there’s a number of stories here still worth your time. “Upstairs” by Tananarive Due is a tense and powerful closer to the anthology. Probably my favorite of the whole set.“The Share” by Terence Taylor was an interesting bit of magical realism that explored the relationship between two fascinating characters whose apartments relatively overlap in time and space. “Smoked Butt” by Brian Egeston is an odd and grotesque bit of sout...
Good collection. A few of these are exceptional.
Most of the stories were great. There were a couple i couldn't get with...it's as though the stories weren't finished. But overall worth my time
