[Andrew Brooks · Rating 3.25 out of 5]

Well, at least I know what the three divisions/sections are for now:

The first section "Essays" are a collection of pretty good short fiction (mostly) in the form of papers of the sort submitted to scientific journals and they form almost half the volume.

The second is titled "Stories" and consists of three longer pieces of Horror fiction, which I found disappointing both because of quality but primarily because they didn't even stick to theme & had nothing to do with either scientists or their creations.

The final short section is a collection of humorous supposed want ads such as one might expect a real journal of this kind to have
