[Glen · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great collection of almost everything neo-pulp has to offer. There's something for everyone. I liked some stories better than others, but David Boop's Gridiron story, Ron Fortier's Brother Bones, Win Scott Eckert's Green Ghost, Kevin Findley's Dash Dasher, and Derrick Ferguson's Voodah story stood out for me.

Some of the illustrations left something to be desired, as they seemed apropos of nothing, but others were very well done.

A great collection!
