Unfortunately dark/horror fiction anthologies seem to be few and far between these days (and most of those are collections of long established writers in the field), so it's nice to see a well put together collection of tales by people who are (relatively) starting out. Though I wasn't a fan of every story here (my own highlights being F.R Jameson's `Wilderness', James Brook's `Dead Famous', Charlotte Bond's `The Wild Hunt' and Geoff Ward's superb `The Country Gent'), they are diverse enough to appeal to individual tastes. The foreword by Nolene-Patricia Dougan is also very encouraging to aspiring/beginning writers (and highlights some of the unfortunate truths of the publishing world!) So highly recommended, with 4/5 stars because again not every tale appealed to me...but that's just my own individual tastes of course!
