If you are a fan of short stories, then this collection is a must-read.
It is rare to find a collection of stories where every single story is a good one. I am happy to say that all 21 stories in this collection are good ones.
This collection hits the ground running with Martin Reaves' Devil Weed - an excellent monster tale.
I also absolutely love Sam Hill's A Matter of Taste (a story about Stella & Jeff), Jeffrey Kosh's The South Will Rise Again (about a soldier), Chris Rodriguez's The Mating Moon (a tale of young love), and Christopher Kahler's (gut-wrenching) story, A Party for Bobbie Sue. Ken Goldman's Six Ways from Sunday (about a break-up), Jerry W. McKinney's Flesh & Blood (centering around a 12-year-old), and David Tocher's Letters from a Dead World (about Cendatha-6) are also all exceptional stories.
There is also Brian Rosenberger's GodTV (a story about Bob, who is not a very nice guy), Catrin Sian Rutland's Book of Dreams (a story about cotton retaining memory!), Lori Safranek's Smudge: The Slideshow of the Sideshow (about a cursed tattoo), and Tarl Hoch's The Killing Field (actually a "mysterious lake").
I also need to mention Naching T. Kassa's Speak No Evil (about a curse), Jacki Wildman Wales' Salvation (about a gnome), Maynard Blackoak's Viral Evolution (about ghoulies), Stuart Conover's Sarah and the Clicker (about a spider), Rod Marsden's Smiley Face (about 4 wishes), Katt Dunsmore's Zombie Walk (a zombie tale), James Pyne's Taproot (about long-lasting love), Kayla Godin & Jerry W. McKinney's Dearly Departed (this story has an explosive ending!), and Sam Hill & Candace Nola's What Will the Neighbors Say? (about "an incident").
Like I said, all 21 stories in this collection are worth reading.

An Excellent Collection Of Unique Stories
Each story is a treasure that will have you thinking "wow was that different In a good way" each of them follows the horror genre, but that is the only commonality. There's not a single story I didn't like and a few I loved. You will enjoy this book.
