This took a while to read, partially because I can't binge read short story collections, where each story stands and fills a space inside your head, and you just can't move on quickly. It was worth it!
Going through the list of stories and picking out personal favourites proved to be very difficult. Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio did a really good job. The following stuck the most for me, either for their writing style or the story itself:
Blood by Roddy Doyle (starts the anthology off wonderfully/gruesomely)
The Stars Are Falling by Joe R. Lansdale
Juvenal Nyx by Walter Mosley
Catch and Release by Lawrence Block
Let the Past Begin by Jonathan Carroll
Stories by Michael Moorcock
(to be frank, I didn't really like the Gaiman and Sarrantonio stories :p)
With that said, I will definitely look up many of the authors in this book.
