This is the first time reading some authors andothers like Joe Hill and John Connolly are beloved favourite authors. I lovedthis collection. One of the most enjoyable things is that each story isdifferent and the collection offers a wide range of styles and subject matters.I never knew what the next story would hold. My favourite stories were WhenWe Fall, We Forget by Angela Slatter, 20th Century Ghost by Joe Hill(still amazing after about a dozen reads), A Man Walking His Dog by Tim Lebbonand Lula-Belle by Catriona Ward. This collection of dark, disturbingreads was sheer pleasure.
