...and another fanfic. This is weird.

And then suddenly one of the stories is just Miami Vice fanfic? That was weird.

Thankfully, that terrible story was an anomaly.

The first three stories are good, but the fourth just falls off a cliff. It's that overly mannered look-how-edgy-my-no-complete-sentences writing that can be done well, but is usually a crutch for someone who doesn't want to put in the work.

Greg Barth's story is killer.

Eryk Pruitt's story perhaps is the best short story I've read in 2016. The man has crazy narrative command and he's only getting better. Will Viharo's metafictional Scarface/Miami Vice mashup also was very cool.

Sam Wiebe's pro wrestling story is a bit of an acquired taste, but it was fun because it wasn't about the eighties in themselves. There are some gimmickier stories also, but it was to be expected.
