I really wanted to like this anthology, but damn did some of the some of them make it difficult. If you pick this up, the ones I would recommend would be Idjit Girls, The Turning, Kalkriese, The Devil Don’t Come With Horns, The Asylum, Tiddlywinks, and Incident at Bear Creek Lodge. The rest were pretty hit or miss for me.
The only one I would genuinely say just to skip is Night Shopper. As a trans person, whole thing rubbed me the wrong way. Not well written in my opinion, and didn’t seem to actually understand the trans experience in a meaningful way.
