Reading the sixth story, "Not From Around Here", which is the first one to really feel "splatterpunk". "Coming Soon..." and "The Shaft" had their moments, but this is the real nasty, though the setup has a King-like feel to it.
Favorite thus far is the first, "One for the Horrors", which was similar in feel to Joe Hill's "20th Century Ghost", one of my all-time faves.
Breakneck pacing throughout, so far.

"Calendar Girl": Sweet and sad; reminds me of Ellison's stories about women, sans venom. Also reminds me of a Gaiman story, though I forget the name.

Finished (Melodrama), a sweet paean to the old creature feature of a bygone era.

Just finished the infamous "Jerry's Kids Meet Wormboy", one of the stories that defined splatterpunk. Fast, brash, and nasty, with a truly sick sense of humor. Not my thing, really, but well-written and a much-needed change of pace, considering the more high-brow stuff I've been reading lately.
