A very strong collection, overall, with the first third being perhaps a little stronger than the rest, but there are gems throughout.
Standouts for me, in no particular order, and not comprehensive:

"Catch And Release" by Lawrence Block - serial killers aren't everyone's preferred fare, but this was an interesting angle

"The Truth Is A Cave In The Black Mountains" by Neil Gaiman

"The Stars Are Falling" by Joe R. Lansdale - slightly predictable, but a compelling presentation

"A Life In Fictions" by Kat Howard - when done well, meta-stories can be very good, and this was done well

"The Devil On The Staircase" by Joe Hill - a very nice story, although I didn't find that the novel formatting added anything
