Read Nina Allan's story 'Feet of Clay'. Not one of my favourites of hers and felt like a step back from the wonderful The Silver Wind, which was published around the same time. Having read more about the anthology, I understand why: it was written to address a theme rather than to fit into Allan's existing universe of stories. I also really struggled to get the relationships between the characters straight. All of which is not to say that this is a bad story – I liked it, it just doesn't live up...
Before I start this review I should mention that I have a story in this collection."Never Again" is an anthology of 'Weird Fiction Against Racism And Facism' with proceeds going to Amnesty International, PEN, and the Sophie Lancaster Foundation.

Favourite stories were 'In the Arcade' by Lisa Tuttle, 'A Flowering Wound' by John Howard, 'Methods of Confinement' by Gary McMahon, 'The Death of Dreams' by Thana Niveau, 'Malachi' by Simon Bestwick, 'A Place for Feeding' by Simon Kurt Unsworth, 'Rediffusion' by Rhys Hughes, and my favourite was 'Sense' by Tony Richards.

Biased, as I'm one of the contributors, but I'd recommend Stephen Volk's "After the Ape", Rosanne Rabinowitz's "Survivor's Guilt", Nina Allan'S "Feet of Clay", Rhys Hughes' "Rediffusion", and "A Flowering Wound" by John Howard as my favourites.
