An eye-catching anthology. Arranged into three divisions (Mythic Fiction, Paranormal Romance, and Noir Fantasy) each section has an extensive introduction.

Starting with a disclaimer, I'm not a big fan of anthologies but a fan of a couple of these authors.

Secondly, almost none of the stories are original but reprints from earlier works. So fans may find they have already read these in previous books.

And finally, the books chosen (at least those I read) seem to lean towards the older sci-fi model (short and vague with ambiguous endings). Not to judge the writing style (not my personal favorite), fans of the that story type should enjoy this book
