Although there were some good stories in here, overall the collection was kind of hum-drum. "Hot Eyes, Cold Eyes," by Lawrence Block and "The Girl with the Hungry Eyes" by Fritz Leiber, Jr. were the best. "She's Not There" by Pat Cadigan was probably the worst (I couldn't understand the story).

I was pretty excited to get an ARC of this brand-new book...
Unfortunately, none of the stories included are actually new - I'd read the bulk of the book before. This doesn't mean these aren't good stories... but if you're a fan of many of these authors, as I am, you've probably already read
Also, the cover is embarrassingly cheesy. Although, almost worth it, just for the "you are the spawn of Satan" glare I got from some disapproving elderly person on the subway, while reading it.
Still - it makes it look like paranormal erotica. It's not. It's a good, quality, fantasy/horror collection. Four stars, for the quality of the work.
