Reviews

[Hugo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Odd sort of bridging anthology (originally compiled as The Pan Book of Horror Stories, Vol 31) featuring some dark fiction from the current '90s crowd and a few—too many, some might say—negligible contributions from the 'old guard' of usual suspects. Fingers crossed, the next volume will manage more properly contemporary work.
