Two gems and about 2 four star stories save this from being a 3-star rating. There are a couple of real duds. The jacket says these are "back to the Golden Age" stories but there is nothing Golden Age of SciFi about these stories. They are all cutting edge speculative fiction with a good dose of fantasy and horror thrown in. (
