[Waffles · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't think I've ever given an anthology a 5 star rating. That's because anthologies are hit-or-miss for me. If I like more than half of the stories, then I'll rate it at least 3 stars - I'd probably have rated this 3.5 stars so let's round up to 4. I definitely liked more than half of the stories in this collection. There is something here for everyone - all flavors of weird. My favorites were those by Jayprakash Satyamurthy, Philip Fracassi, Kristi DeMeester, Mike Griffin, Craig L. Gidney, Christopher Slatsky, Scott Thomas, and Peter Rawlik.

Buy this anthology and (financially) support the weird. Don't be a stronzo, be a weirdo!
