This is a very good anthology.I would have bought it just for Tim Lebbons' story Last Exit for the Lost.What a wonderful short story!The rest of the book was very good also.
It seems like the anthologist put a lot of thought into selections for this book.There is no overall 'theme' to the book except some of the best writing out there right now.This book reminds me of Karl Wagner's Best of Horror anthologies.There are no duds in this book.All of the stories are well formed with interesting character's.
I have read other books in the Shiver's series and so far I have found them all to be wonderful reads.
I think that a lot of my Goodreads friends can't go wrong with purchasing one or more books in this series but if you have to choose then choose this one first.
