A real mixed bag of stories here and, as a whole, a collection that left me a tad disappointed. Not quite up to the standard of previous editions.

Cleaning the Western Kittiwake by Tyler Keevil
A good ghost story, well written, just not original enough to really stand out.

Atwater by Cody Goodfellow
One of the good ones - a weird place that you fall into when lost isn't all that new a concept, but the sheer gory shocks in this place are well worth the read. And the neat twist at the end made this memorable.

Zombie by Conrad Williams
Nope - no idea what is going on here and why it's written. Boring and kind of pointless!

Salt by Nicholas Royle
Another one that left me a bit cold - not really that original and even the 'twist' could be seen a mile off.

Ye Shall Eat in Haste by Steve Nagy
Probably the best story by a long shot. I've read quite a few sequels to Dracula, but this one has to be one of the best. I loved the sheer bloodiness of it ... and the whole corporate, mercenary business that evolves around the undead. Brilliant bit of writing that saved the anthology for me.

This Much I Remember by Barry Fishler
Boring ... forced myself to read to the end of this one just to say that I had read it, but again, nothing particularly good about it all.

For once, I enjoyed the book reviews and articles marginally more than the stories. Definitely added to me wishlist of future reads.
