[Andy Luke · Rating 4 out of 5]

A mostly strong pack of tales from Belfast authors, grippingly ranging from the supernatural (vampires, zombies, time travellers), to realist (PTSD, missing persons), with an anthropomorphic children's tale. There's also a hilarious abstract illustration section and a reprint of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner. If you want an authentic book of where independent North Irish writing is, and a few oddities too, this is your cup.

(Disclosure: I have a story in this. It's bloody awesome.)
