I wasn't overly impressed with this collection. Sammon had a great thing going with the first collection, but for the most part, this one had the feel of a "Let's make more money" rush job. Some of the stories were excellent, Barker's Scape Goats, Koja's Impermanent Mercies being the best. Gave it a try, but most of the stories just weren't worth the effort.
