A surprisingly solid anthology. Not every story is perfect; there are a couple of lackluster ones. But on the whole, some nice creeps, some lovely writing, some pleasant disturbances. Particularly of note are the tales by Dana Stevens, Steve Faber, Ethan Hawke (my first exposure to his writing), and–one of my favourites–Sarah Langan, whom I always love. Since I've watchedplenty of Blumhouse flims, I figured I should look at the anthology. And the anthology was a delight.
