McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales by Michael Chabon
Hyperbole, Ahoy!
While not exactly "thrilling," there are some damnably-good short stories in this compendium from America's (the world's?) best short-literature publication ("magazine" doesn't quite fit the fine, high-quality, heavyweight paper used in McSweeney's, nor the quality of the material therein, which is distressingly bereft of articles on how to make your bedroom sizzle).
Of particular note is a new short by Nick Hornby which, while not thrilling, is a ripping-good yarn.
