Úryvok z recenzie: Je bežné, že sa v antológiách stretnú texty rôznej úrovne, od výborných až po nudne predvídateľné. Je zaujímavé sledovať, čo si pod slovom „tajomný“ predstavujú jednotliví autori.

Je veľmi zaujímavé sledovať, ako sa rozum do kapsy (vrecka) za tie roky vyvíjal. Mal som verziu z 86 potom 98 a túto z 2004 roku. A to narastajúce kvantum poznatkov je obdivhodné...
