"Vargr Rules" by Nancy A. Collins
A playboy named Varley goes to a metal bar in hopes of finding female company for the night. He is taken with an unusual woman who wears mirrored sunglasses. Is she the woman of his dreams or his nightmares?
This story was okay. It is a slowburn with a gnarly trajectory, but it is not terribly memorable.

"Addicted to Love" by Thomas Tessier
Spoiler alert

This author read American Psycho, and it shows. It is a little too on the nose, but I did not mind it.

Story 18 - 5 stars!!!
"Hide in Plain Sight" by John L. Byrne
A rock star, who treats women like objects to use then throw away, meets a mysterious woman who seems different from the usual groupie.
I loved this one! The best stories in this collection are full stories that have a good buildup. a nice reveal, and a satisfying climax. This story delivered.

Story 17 - 5 stars (The best in the collection, so far).
"Weird Gig" by Ray Garton
A washed-up rock and roll band gets an odd request to put on a private concert at a once burned down coliseum. The band, Jagged Edge, can name their price, as long as they don't ask questions about the audience.
I loved this story so much. This is what I was hoping more of the stories would be like.

"Bootleg" by Mark Verkheiden
I normally love a haunted/cursed object story-this one is about a cursed vinyl record, but this story needed a little more development. It was too short to be effective.

"Reunion" by Michael Newton
An old hippie finds himself at a concert from his favorite band Star Child. Twenty years ago, Star Child held a concert that turned tragic. Will history repeat itself tonight?
This one was pretty good. I think I know what happened, but I am not 100% sure.

"Groupies" by Richard Christian Matheson
Trust Richard Matheson to write a nasty little piece of fiction that is grisly as hell. I needed more, but what we got was a grim piece of fiction that feels all too real. Well done!

"Bunky" by Rex Miller
Way too gimmicky. Trying to be cool but it is just cringey. Nope!

"Heavy Metal" by R. Patrick Gates
I liked this story well enough, but it felt a bit gimmicky. An artist is tormented by the sounds of heavy metal music coming from a neighbor's ghetto blaster.
