except a few (about 4-5 from 26) that did not match my taste (but were not bad), the rest ranged from good to very, very good and also very much diverse in the types of terrors described. They are also all written my kind of style, realistic and straight to the point, without the artsy-pantsy ”not
really going anywhere worth the wait” I hate in Datlow anthologies, for example.
The word that summarizes this book is solid work, and it is a good collection to read thoroughly (but keep in mind it is a very big one, 26 stories, as I said).
4.5/5 for me - I will look for more Stephen Jones anthologies.
