I choose this book to read the Bob Leman story (which I decided to skip :/ ) . I looked through the offerings and picked some more must reads before I give the book back to library. There is no way I'm reading the whole thing. It's almost 866 pages and 50 stories.

Read:
~David A. Riley - The Lurkers in the Abyss - 1
~Gary Brandner - The Price of a Demon - 2
~Dennis Etchison - It Only Comes out at Night - 1
~Elisabeth Massie - Stephen - 4 - I liked until the end which I find unmemorable in comparison to the beginning.
~Thomas Ligotti - The Glamour - DNF
~Poppy Z. Brite - Lord of Nerves - 1
~Lucy Taylor - The Family Underwater - 5
