Title: Glad I got it from a free pile. A No plot spoiler review.
Review: Anthologies are, by their nature, a mixed bag. Some have bunches of so so stories, others have lots of good stories and some are, by and large, boxes of crud.This one is a mix of so so and meh... The best stories (3 or 4 of them) are at best "good" but closer to "ok". The worst are marginally readable.Bottom line: Free pile = ð. Paying more than $1 = ð¤¨.
