A mixed bag, but overall a strong collection of "genre" fiction in McSweeney's Quarterly Volume 10. There are a number of mystery and adventure stories, some horror, fantasy, and science fiction.

Definitely read Dan Chaon's "The Bees," Glen David Gold's "Tears of Squonk," Jim Shepard's "Tedford and the Megalodon," and Rick Moody's "The Albertine Notes."

Skip Chris Offutt's "Chuck's Bucket," and Michael Chrichton's "Blood Doesn't Come Out."

Peruse the other stories at your leisure.
