Even if you think you've rag it all this collection surprises with the old (HH Munro) and the new (one author born in 1990). While I didn't love every piece I art least liked and appreciated them all, and some were just stunning. Well done and worth the read.

I really enjoyed reading this. Lots of variety! Stories ranged from spooky to whimsical, and each was captivating and fairly easy to read. I totally devoured this in 2 days.
